  15. But our country,what kind of laws do we have? A man rapes two young girls and gets only 9 yrs? Is dat encouraging or discouraging?Sometimes I wonder with de way our courts operates in malawi,U’ll c dat a man who steals only k10 000 is given 10 yrs imprisonment with hard labor but when somebody steals k10 000 000 u’ll c dat he’s only given 2 yrs & jst after serving two weeks of his term,we’ll hear dat he is on bail.Anyway,let him go and serve his punishment & if possible,let dem bail him out so dat he can come & rape some more girls.Its a good punishment.
