The punishment for transporting, trading, storing, producing, processing, applying and using more than 25 grams of narcotics originated from heroin, cocaine and coca will be the death penalty or life-term imprisonment, while for less than 25 grams (A-category narcotics) will be minimum two years of imprisonment and maximum 10 years of jail.
According to the Bill, the maximum punishment for any individual or organisation financing or patronising drug dealing will be the death penalty.
If any individual or organisation finances, provides money, instigates or patronises such crimes, they will face similar punishment as per the law.
Alongside Yaba, Shisha and dope test were incorporated in the draft bill as the existing Narcotics Control Act 1990 does not address these. The chemical of Khat drug was also mentioned in the proposed law.
