Pharmacy practitioners face suspensions over violations of professional standards

The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) of Kenya has suspended and revoked the licenses of several pharmaceutical practitioners following investigations into cases of professional misconduct. This action comes as part of its commitment to maintaining the highest standards in the pharmaceutical profession.

One case involved Malibu Pharmacy, where a pharmacist authorized the delivery of medication with an improperly labeled package, exposing a complainant’s sensitive information. The Enquiries and Disciplinary Committee (EDC), chaired by Dr. Richard Muthoka, recommended a six-month suspension for Dr. Nancy Wangu Kaguri, the pharmacy’s superintendent.

In another instance, Lovi Lovince Manono, a pharmaceutical technologist, was found guilty of entering a fraudulent agreement to set up a pharmacy under his credentials and later transferring control to an unqualified individual. The board revoked his license and imposed a five-year suspension from practice.

Dr. Charles Mukabi Waweru also faced penalties after failing to notify the PPB of the closure of a pharmacy in Kajiado County. Leaving the premises without proper registration, the board concluded, put public health at risk, leading to a three-month suspension of his license.

Emmanuel Odhiambo Gwassi, a pharmaceutical representative, operated an unregistered pharmacy without a licensed pharmacist. His license was revoked, and he received a five-year suspension.

While most cases led to significant penalties, the committee issued an admonishment to Caroline Wachera, a pharmaceutical technologist, who had failed to notify the PPB about the closure of a pharmacy. Her compliance efforts and relinquishing of the business partnership prompted the committee to pardon her.

“The Pharmacy and Poisons Board reiterates its commitment to maintaining the highest standards in the pharmaceutical profession to ensure public safety and uphold the integrity of the profession,” said Dr. F.M. Siyoi, the board’s Chief Executive Officer.
