They catch the big fish but let them go because of the pressure applied by even bigger fish to let them off the hook.

Whilst the small peddlers get death sentence, the real importers and distributors enjoy all luxuries and privileges as Ministers and MPs.

Please do the sentence instead of just giving the judgement then only people will learn a lesson.
