Kenyans on Twitter have gone berserk after Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina was filmed probably high, in a weed plantation.
While police keep on nabbing drug traffickers in Kenya and destroying weed worth millions if not billions of shillings, Senator Ole Kina has reignited calls for marijuana decriminalization in Kenya citing the plant’s numerous benefits.
Life! I swear all of us are naturally high! Some with Nyasore others busaaa! instead of giving directions or consulting they decide to give a striker the ball while facing the goal post! Sawa twende Kazi! pic.twitter.com/HKD7iSfC33

In a viral video posted to his official Twitter account – @ledamalekina – on Tuesday, the Senator is seen speaking from an expansive cannabis farm in Lithuania, Europe.
In the 1 minute 43 seconds clip, Senator Ledama says President Uhuru should borrow a leaf from the European country and legalize marijuana.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is crazy. Why is it that we in Kenya are still stuck with the old way of saying that this is an illegal drug…this is crazy…my host is telling me this is hemp which is used for construction and making ropes but it actually smells like weed, I might get out of here, high,” says the lawmaker.
Industrial hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for industrial uses. It can, however, be abused.
Ledama added that “But anyway, that’s not the issue. If this is good either to reduce the pain of cancer patients and we know how cancer is killing people in Kenya, why not legalize it? What is so bad about it? We only live once. If this weed is good for us, lets legalize it. If it’s not good then let’s not allow other people in the world to plant it. All this is weed, and it is legal, damn! I would love to live here.”
Just a fews days after the demise of the former emidiate Kibra MP Ken Okoth-who had tabled a Marijuana legalisation bill in the National assembly- crazy Kenyans read malice in Uhuru’s planned visit to Jamaica.
Here is the video of the Late Hon Ken Okoth. May his soul rest in eternal peace
