Police arrested the chairman of a company dealing with low quality medicine, in the afternoon of 17 December, at the company headquarters in Tonle Bassac commune, Chamcar Mon district, Phnom Penh city. Local news media reported that Katik Sahai, a 38-year-old Indian holding Canadian citizenship and chairman of the Braya Co. Ltd., was arrested by the police after several days of investigation. The Braya Company is involved with importing medicines to Cambodia, however, in reality, the medicines imported by the company are close to the expiration dates, and the company changed the expiration date to up to 2010 by changing the medicine names and claiming that it is the company’s medicines instead. An official from the tribunal who participated in the raid on this company, said that this faking process can lead to patients’ death. In the past, patients blamed doctors for being unable to cure their illnesses, but a large number of them was caused by the use of fake medicines instead.

More to come! It will apply to medicine, food, and cosmetic, water, and countless other consumer products. It took AH HUN SEN government for a long time to understand that taking fake medicine can be a death sentence!
As the general election nears, the government is likely to put up a good show.
Its corruption and corruption in the system. There have framed a innocent man of fraud that never happened.
It is good that bugger Kartik is caught and government is taking action against it. Government should be very careful on imports of medicine and monitoring the qualities in the market...........
