The fate of the Cannabis Bill appears to be sealed now. This means the bill, which seeks to decriminalise hemp and cannabis in particular, for medical, commercial and industrial purposes, will not pass the second reading of the House during this parliamentary session.
The House meeting last week was supposed to vote on Section 10 of the bill but collapsed due to lack of a quorum after many MPs from both the government and opposition camps did not attend the meeting, or refused to declare their presence in the chamber.
