George Wajackoya, the leader of The Roots party, promised that if he were elected president, he would legalize the cultivation of marijuana and permit the breeding of snakes. On July 11, Boniface Mutua was taken into custody at Bahati estate in the Ainabkoi sub-county of Uasin Gishu county after three rolls of Bhangh were discovered in his hands. Mutua testified in court that he takes marijuana to increase his energy so that he has more to devote to his chosen presidential candidate’s campaign.
People in an Eldoret court were left gaping after a guy claimed to have been using marijuana to support George Wajackoyah of the Roots Party.
The 47-year-old Boniface Mutua said in court that he uses marijuana to boost his energy so he can campaign for his favored presidential candidate.
On July 11, Mutua was detained at Bahati estate in the Ainabkoi sub-county of Uasin Gishu after it was discovered that he was in possession of three rolls of cannabis with a street value of KSh 90.
Mutua pleaded guilty
If Wajackoyah is elected president, Mutua aims to be one of the first commercial growers of the crop, according to evidence presented in court in Eldoret. Since because cultivating the crop is still prohibited in the nation, the magistrate found him guilty despite his guilty plea.
The court further advised him to abstain from using the illicit substance until his candidate was elected.
After the magistrate gets a pre-sentencing report from the probation officers, the case will be brought up on July 27.
