RIGATHI GACHAGUA reveals why he feared Prof GEORGE WAJACKOYAH when he was campaigning for the presidency in 2022

Wednesday, March 27, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has opened up on his fear for opposition politician and former presidential candidate, Prof. George Wajackoyah.

Speaking during the burial of Priesthood Church Bishop JJ Gitahi's mother Dorcas Wangari Muhihu, in Kaimbaga, Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County on Tuesday, Gachagua said he feared the politician over his advocacy for the legalization of marijuana.

"I am not a bad person Mr Wajackoyah. You are also not a bad man. 

"I used to fear you when you advocated for the youth to smoke 'that thing' (bhang). 

"You know we have a problem with that thing here (Mt Kenya region). You however said it's not that one. 

"I'll call you to explain further," Gachagua said.

"I would like you to tell me that good bhang you are telling me so that I can be wiser. 

"I'm not very intelligent since I am not very learned. I do not know a lot of things. You'll teach me a little bit so that I understand further."

During the presidential campaigns in 2022, Wajackoyah rallied on his call to root out corruption in the country if he became the president, while at the same time promising to legalize marijuana, saying that it could generate billions of shillings in revenue for Kenya.
