In Kazo—

6 people have been arrested in Kazo district after they were allegedly found selling a drug they claim treats Foot and mouth disease.

During an operation conducted by the National Drugs Authority-NDA officials, up to 10 boxes of drugs labeled Anti- Efmdi were confiscated.

Dr. Jeane Muhindo the head of veterinary products in the NDA says that the authority was tipped off by Kazo security team following adverts that were aired on Radio stations in Kiruhura and Kazo districts for treating FMD.
