About this statute

This section gives the Act’s short title and says it must be read together with the Drug Control and Enforcement Act. This provision amends section 1(3) of the principal Act by changing several words in the text. This provision amends section 2 by adding and changing several definitions, including Convention State, khat plant, officer, Council, precursor chemical, cannabis plant, and trafficking. This section amends section 4(2) of the principal Act and requires certain permit-issuing authorities to consult the Authority before issuing import or export permits, licences, or certificates in the listed drug-control context. The Commissioner General may require public institutions to provide information, and institutions must comply. Failure to comply is an offence, and responsible persons may also be treated as having committed the offence unless they prove lack of knowledge or due diligence.
