Former Health Minister Dr. Chiltalu Chilufya has described as a hoax, the Honey Bee scandal, which exposed the alleged distribution of leaking condoms and expired drugs in public hospitals.
In an interview with Diamond News, Dr. Chilufya says there is no evidence of defective condoms or expired drugs being distributed on a US$17 million contract by ministry of health, describing it as a cooked up scandal.
And Dr. Chilufya further says no payment was ever made to Honey Bee towards the supply of the said consignment.
Meanwhile, Dr. Chilufya has warned of a Covid-19 resurgence as a result of government’s failure to invest in early detection of the virus
