Hit on drug lords - MPs

When debating the Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Bill No.20 of 2018 tabled by Kgathi, the MP of Gaborone North Haskins Nkaigwa said the Botswana Police Service (BPS) officers were always targeting the poor marijuana dealers who were leading simple lives when the real drug lords selling dangerous drugs that perish the youth were left to run their drug business in harmony. 

“Even though I support this Bill, I would like the police to go to the suburbs where the real drug lords stay. Those guys drive expensive cars, lead fancy lifestyles and are very rich. They are they guys that sell serious drugs such as cocaine, heroin and others. I feel that it is unfair for this law to only target the poor marijuana dealers leaving out the real drug lords. Re ka se tswelele ka go tshwara ba metokwane re tlogela batho baba rekisang diritibatsi tse di kotsi mo sechabeng ba itirelela jaaka ba batla,” he said.
