Just yesterday, Kibra MP, Kenneth Okoth drafted a bill and presented it to the speaker for discussion in parliament. The bill was basically asking the government to make marijuana legal and he was asking for those imprisoned for possession to be released.
This did not make Chipukeezy, NACADA Director happy at all. After the news got to him, he took to social media with a message to Kenneth Okoth.
Chipukeezy, who also doubles up as an entertainer, says the reason why crime is rampant in Kibra is because of the misuse of Marijuana by residents.
He wrote:
The bill that Kibra Mp Hon Ken Okoth is sponsoring on marijuana is not in good faith and is ill-advised. He is in a better position to know that marijuana is one of key reasons crime is rampant in his constituency. We have not exhausted ways of empowering the communities and more so the youths for us to jump into this 'legalize marijuana' craze happening around the world. Empowerment Avenues like sports, arts and media, Entrepreneurship etc have not yet been exploited enough. He should put this energy into seeing to it that young people and women derive maximum benefits from AGPO, youth fund, affirmative action etc.Vincent Muasya
Director Nacada
This discussion will bring up a huge discussion because the ratio of those who are with Chipukeezy and those who are with Kenneth is almost 50/50.
All Chipukeezy is doing, is nothing but his job as per his job description.
