The good thing is people will have a release and grieve properly. Akipelekwa home in Nyanza ndio pandemonium itaonekana proper.

Well as I said they’ve actually done a lot, collecting, documenting, and testing our traditional medicinal plants to make sure they’re safe and effective.The real challenge comes after that. Going from “this herb seems to work” to “we have a safe, standardized Kenyan medicine” is a long, bureaucratic, and expensive process. After discovery, you still need years of lab tests, clinical trials, toxicology studies, and approvals from bodies like the PPB all of which need serious funding, which we rarely prioritize.
On top of that, there are issues with intellectual property, weak collaboration between scientists and herbalists, limited industrial partnerships to scale production, and sometimes even hesitation from the government to fully support “local” remedies. A lot of that stems from the lingering colonial mindset that anything traditional is “unscientific.” So, a lot of great research just ends up sitting in reports and theses instead of being turned into real products.
Until Kenya builds a stronger link between traditional knowledge, research, and local pharmaceutical manufacturing, many promising discoveries will keep getting stuck in the lab. We already have the herbs, the data, and the experts, what’s missing is political will, proper funding, and confidence in our own knowledge systems.

And this is the real issue. A lot of such knowledge is being lost since there's no good will to actualize it into useful products.Well as I said they’ve actually done a lot, collecting, documenting, and testing our traditional medicinal plants to make sure they’re safe and effective.The real challenge comes after that.

If nothing useful is made of what has already been captured, they turn away or ignore people who could add to it.
