Octopizzo also said that his member of Parliament, Kenneth Okoth has been advocating for the legalization of the medicinal Marijuana for some time now with the bill already in place in parliament, after stressing that honorable Kenneth Okoth is well learned and knows the importance of having the medicinal Marijuana legalized.
In an article written by Raila Odinga Junior for Daily Nation last October, he wrote an important piece about Marijuana that read in part, “It is important to understand the legal and historical background of the use of Cannabis sativa in Kenya. It first became illegal with the passage of the Opium Ordinance Act (Government Gazette, March 4, 1914) when Kenya was a British Colonial East Africa Protectorate. That was revised under the current Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) Act 1994.
Marijuana was widely used by all age sets in the Lake Basin and parts of Rift Valley to aid digestion, manage rheumatism, control gout and, generally, alleviate chronic pain. That the vernacular terminology for it among the communities loosely translates to “medicine” or “herb” reinforces this.” read the complete article he wrote about marijuana here: Marijuana Bill: Let medical, not ethical, considerations carry day
