Roots Party Leader George Wajahckoyah toured US Cannabis Farms while interacting with potential investors ahead of Kenya’s presidential elections on 4 August 2024.

Roots Party spokesman Jaymo Ule Msee said on Istagram on 16 July 2022 that Wajackoyah was visiting several cannabis farms in the US to better understand the growing process of the plant which remains outlawed in Kenya.

According to Bashir Mbuthia, writing in the Citizen https://www.citizen.digital/news/wajackoyah-visits-us-bhang-farms-n302235. Msee shared pictures of Wajackoyah examining various cannabis grown for medicinal and recreational purposes.

Wajackoyah has been vocal about legalising cannabis and commercializing the drug for medicinal purposes should he clinch the presidency during the August polls.

The Roots Party frontman has publicly stated that cannabis farming, coupled with incentives that will boost the country's available economic infrastructure will be the first thing his administration will set out to achieve should he occupy State House after the polls.

He also intends to have Kenya export snake and hyena meat as well as the scavengers’ testicles to the Asian market in a bid to augment revenue collection streams and offset the country’s ballooning debt.

Wajackoyah has in the past stated that he is prepared to counter perceived resistance that his unique proposals would evoke among some of the country’s residents.
