A man who has close resemblance with roots party leader Professor George Wajackoyah has hinted that he also supports legalization of Marijuana in Kenya.
The man identified as George Owino is boda-boda operator in Nairobi and has become a point of attention whenever he stops.
Owino who spoke to The Standard Newspaper said said Kenyans also ask him for money in exchange for their votes.
Like the Roots party presidential hopeful, Owino supports legalisation of marijuana if it can seal debts and reduce poverty. “I have never smoked or dealt with bhang, but I support Wajackoyah’s thoughts about the legalisation of the marijuana if it has a lot of economic values,” he says.
Wajackoyah says he does not smoke bhang. “It is a very good idea because marijuana should not be a preserve of few rich. Look at the case of a man who was found to have planted the bhang valued at over Sh1 million in his house in Eldoret,” Wajackoyah has said in his campaigns.
Owino says it is strange how authorities know the value of nabbed bhang, yet no one is allowed to plant them. “It seems the common mwananchi has been denied opportunities to deal so that few people in the country can benefit. I support Wajackoyah for political reason and I would support his idea if it has economic value,” he said.
