    "content": "There is the issue of the owner, the landlord or an occupier of a house being accountable which comes in Clause 5(a). The owners of houses will be held to account to ensure they keep a register and they exercise due diligence for the tenants they have. Some tenants who convert houses into laboratories to manufacture some of these drugs will be dealt with within this particular clause. You will note that in our country most of the crimes, especially serious crimes like terrorism and drug trafficking, it becomes very difficult to trace and deal with because the landlords do not keep a register of their tenants. That is why this clause making the landlords accountable is also important even in other sections of our law like when we are developing the Nyumba Kumi Act. It will ensure the landlords are aware and they are accountable to the people they keep in their places. When tenants commit crimes, the landlords should report and if they fail to report, there is a fine and imprisonment that is prescribed."
