the MoH should move very fast in proposing changes to the Penal Code dealing with penalties for the theft of medicines in our hospitals. As long as we have small fines and short prison sentences we are not going to deter people from pilfering medicines. I would have loved to hear that the Penal Code was being ammened during this seating of Parliament. we should also deal with those abetting or assisting pilferage of precius medicines because when drugs are stolen a lot of lives are lost

Its obvious that drugs pilferage is not serious at CMS but in hospitals. So applauding the installation of CCTV cameras at CMS is not a solution to this problem at all because it is the medical staff at clinics, hospitals and health centres who collude with business people within their areas that steal the drugs. Imagine this story, has the CCTV camera at CMS helped capture the thief here? Malawians pena pake we have crazy planners.

What do you expect of poorly paid public workers? To take care of public resources when they themselves cannot be taken care of by govt? Forget. And the solution is neither CCTVs or arresting people. Just pay them well so they can feed on their salary and not subject them to temptations of stealing. If they cannot feed on their salary because it is too small, they will feed on the public resources under their charge. If you tell them to quit public service and seek better terms elsewhere you’re shooting yourself in the foot. They will not quit but… Read more »

This donor instituted action so that we are seen that we are doing something about it is total hypocrisy of highest order. We seen not willing to deal with wrong issues on our own. What kind of a country are we. Don’t we feel ashamed of these actions. Does it mean on our own we do not know what is right or wrong and what to do when one steals ? People are stealing drugs we do nothing until donor threatens, people stole tons of billions of kwacha we did nothing until donors pulled out, people are vandalising our forest… Read more »

Bwanji tizingogula mankhwala mzipatalamu? if we start paying for the medi then stores clerks will be careful. They’ll neva sale.
