The MP for the area is the cause of this anti-social behaviour : stealing anti-snake venom.

By the way, Starrfn, it is anti-snake venom and not anti snakebite! Your editor is an illiterate.

Please Mr Aponkye be fair of yourself and never to involve the innocent Hon. MP into this matter. This is a stealing case which the police and BNI re investigating, none of them mentioned the Hon MP name. Allow the security agencies to investigate and whoever found culpable must face the law squarely.

You see how we can be very cruel to each other? Anti-snake bites meant to keep people alive are being stolen and resold to heves and criminals who are prepared to buy and resell.

Mr Awuni, it is not UER alone but the whole Ghana hospitals, health centres and health posts. The pharmacist, nurses and whoever concern will tell you that the drug is not there, but there's drug for safe keeping which belong to somebody. Once yours is an emergency they will sell it to and replace it late. All is lies, the same drug is for the state. I realised that all state properties/depts/orgs/cos/hosp/ and whatever income they generate goes into individuals pocket. The same people turns round to accuse the Gov't. God save Ghana.

It is not only Zebila that such nefarious activities generally on drugs are being perpetuated for that matter snake serums. Authorities need to widen their net to check the theft of such expensive drugs in the country. The Zebila case is but just one on the tip of the iceberg. We want to know FDB at the time of the zebile arrest are the anti snake drugs being adhered to standards to preserve the efficacy of the drugs? for my understanding these drugs must be kept under tight condition where even delivery the cold chain is been managed not to break it, they should tell us the two pharmacy whether they observed standards, the batch number too can tell a nice story.We want to know.

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some snake poison." The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need snake poison?" The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband." The pharmacists eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you snake poison to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any snake poison!" The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now. That's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription

Foolish report. Do the pharmacist have names or not? Simple report you can't do.

the reporter should get his facts before giving the information out, and those involved their names should be published and their certificate should also be ceased for now, criminals pretending to be professionals.

You are journalists and therefore expected to know better. The fact that am giving a comment here does not make me a journalist or a news reporter by profession. Don't just give people titles they are not, defaming the profession and its intergrity. If they are pharmacists indeed like you claim, just confirm to us with their professional registration numbers, since every single legally registered pharmacist in the country has one.

The reporter is a fool. Nobody has been arrested in the first place, the two people invited for qustioning are licensed chemical sellers. The reporter must apologise to the pharmacy profession. Idiot.
