"content": "Again, this has to do with punitive measures. The way the sentences are worded, it makes it very lenient because when we state that it should not exceed, we are merely capping the maximum, but the minimum can be as small as one month since many children’s lives are destroyed by drugs. We should make it very stringent for people who want to access drugs to be dealt with very severely. Almost for all of us, it occurs either within the family or if not the immediate family, the wider family. Most of our children are messed up because of drugs. But the way we are putting the sentence, it is very lenient because when we say, “not exceeding” that is just a higher capping. You can actually jail someone for one month or even fine them Ksh5,000, but somebody’s life is already destroyed."
