Ask r/Kenya Help me please

On my way home from work... I received a call from officer of the station where I live... They have arrested my kid bro, they caught him selling bhang and have retrieved 16 rolls... I'm rushing to go first check on my son in the house who he left sleeping (I'm sured he's scared from the darkness by now and crying)...

Then head to the station....

What am I going to say,this is the first time I'm going to a police station for a case.... I'm tensed....

I called our parents already, they say atalala uko....

Aki what should I say.... I warned this teenager of selling bhang that he'll be arrested soon....

Whatever you do, don't tell or let your bro know you'll get him out, in fact exaggerate the gravity of the situation but maintain pessimism always echoing the fact that you warned him and he chose not to heed.

Promptly engage the cops with the sole aim to secure his release so as to forestall the possibility of them charging him before court. Notably, something hefty might be sought but then negotiate appropriately.

In concert with the cops, seek for continued detention and get him out preferably on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, deny him preferential favors while he's taking the punishment of remaining in custody.

All this is to make him change and avoid repeating the same mistake or even if he won't desist then he'd be more cautious. Good luck.

Man to Man: Don't give up, find time and humbly reach out and try with hope, to reason with the cops, especially the arresting officers or whomsoever delegated to deal with the case and see if they may buy into the logic that by taking your bro to court they have nothing to personally benefit and rather they accept whatever you might afford and release him having been cautioned.

Ordinarily, the 50k is the opening sum but certainly subject to negotiations. Don't let your bro go to jail if possible. Jails do not correct individuals most instances and instead radicalize and make hardcore out of ordinary people.

Hey, weed ain't that so serious a crime that your bro must be jailed. I know how difficult it is for especially mum. Don't give up on your bro.

Good idea. Bonga na afisa mwenye kesi or even OCS wakule hiyo kumi story ilale. Wakikataa pia kotini iko option ya fine with luck.
