Prof George Wajackoyah and his weed manifesto are the sensation of the moment. The Roots Party presidential candidate has taken a slew of Kenya’s youthful population by storms with his spirited call for the legalisation of marijuana.

His two-page manifesto is crisp and concise. He will create 10 states, each with a regional government and freedom to make its own laws. Idle foreigners will be deported. The capital city and administrative nerve centre of public administration will be Isiolo. Kenya’s working week shall be four days. And every two weeks, every Kenyan will be paid a living allowance.
