Police WITH A STRAIGHT FACE said the arrested suspect had been handled by ‘Lasa’ who is currently in prison. incarceration to a single cell is like giving the prisoner a luxury office 24/7 to conduct his illicit business. We need a quick resolution even before the offender is taken in to the custody save lives and taxpayer's earnings.

Once in the prison, leader and accomplice working life makes more practical! So who are the personalities behind these drug pins, e.g ministers in hot seats, prison guards, others
