The dangers posed by Narcotics Abuse have harmed the nation’s young generation, therefore the Government continues to strengthen law enforcement regarding the issue of Narcotics abuse. The usage of narcotics is currently regulated in acts number 35 of 2009. In the acts, the government implements maximum sanction in the form of death penalty to certain categories of narcotics abuse.
