Our Assessment

The promise was to increase punishment for drug trade and try all drug-trade cases in special fast-track courts. I found evidence of ANTF strengthening and enforcement directions, but not of a state legal change increasing punishment for drug trade or a notified system of special fast-track courts for all such cases. The verdict is pending because enforcement activity is not the same as the promised punishment/court architecture. Budget status: no special-court allocation found.
