Roots Party Presidential aspirant George Wajackoyah turned up at the Bomas of Kenya on Monday to seek clearance from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Wajackoyah, who officially launched his State House bid in February, has promised to legalize bhang and suspend the constitution within the first six months if he forms the next government.
He plans to prioritize the cultivation of marijuana, which he believes has medicinal value, and export it to countries where it is used, generating revenue for the country's economic development.
"Our business will be to plant marijuana and export it to those who use it outside Kenya. This will enable us get revenue which we can use to develop our country economically," Wajackoyah stated.
He also acknowledged that his proposal may evoke resistance among some Kenyans, but he is prepared to counter it, citing his own son's use of marijuana as an example.
"I have never smoked Marijuana, but my son does, and he is a footballer. I cannot throw away my son because he smokes bhang ad someone else has drunk changaa. Let us face reality. If it is something that can lift the economy, let us utilize it," he stated.
