The politicians actions comes barely days after Sonko said that weed should be legalised.

KEN ALIKUA NA MSWADA WA MAANA SANA. WATU WANAOGOPA KUONGEA VITU CONTROVERSIAL, MIMI NITAONGEA. HUYU NDUGU YETU ALITAKA KU-LEGALISE MARIJUANA AMA BHANGI. IKONA DAWA YA CANCER,' He said during Ken Okoth's memorial service. 

The flashy governor urged young politicians, the likes of Babu Owino, KJ and Jaguar to continue fighting for marijuana to be legalized, adding that it should come from Jamaica.

ENDELEENI NA HIYO MSWADA BHAGI IKUE LEGALISED. NA MNAONA PIA RAIS ANAENDA JAMAICA NA IKIPITISHWA TUTAHAKIKISHA ILE BHANGI SAFI INAKUJA KUTOKA JAMICA KAMA NDIO ITALETA DAWA YA CANCER.

Okoth was trying to push for legalisation of weed in the country, saying it had medicinal benefits.
