Enforcement 🇰🇪 Kenya

Kenyan officials report uneven enforcement of the cannabis ban

Colonial correspondence described few convictions and small fines in Central Nyanza, alongside concern about cannabis in Taita.[1] Coast provincial commissioner Desmond O’Hagan asked his Nyanza counterpart whether officials took firm action and what sentences they usually imposed.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Kenya here.
