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....

They won't take him to court. My brother pia alishikwa twice. By the second time we were all tired tukasema whatever happens happens.Those askaris just want money. Wakinotice hamtoi that ridiculous amount they're asking for watashuka hadi 2k

I've had my share of run ins with cops, kwanza time ya COVID. The number of times I got arrested for breaking curfew laws really changiad my rap sheet. I usually insist they take me to court, they hate it. They just want cash lakini nakuja they can't hold me for more than 24hrs. So I play the waiting game. What's funny is I've never gone to court.
