NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 30- Presidential candidate Prof George Wajackoya on Thursday released his manifesto, containing what many saw as extremes yet exciting to a section of voters.
The Roots party leader said he will legalize the growth of bhang in the country as a way to liberate Kenyans economically.
He gave Nyeri as a case study, claiming growing bhang in the land size of the County would in itself help Kenya pay all its national debts.
Growing bhang in Nyeri County alone, he said would fetch the country a whooping Sh9.2 trillion every 12 months.
“This means if we grow bangi for export, Nyeri in one year will earn the equivalent of Ethiopia’s GDP,” reads the Manifesto.
“If we can grow Bang in Nyeri alone, each Kenyan could get a dividend cheque of Sh200,000 every year from the sale of Bang.”
He added that, “if we grew Bangi in Nyeri alone, we would build two expressways in each county in Kenya. If we grew Bang in Nyeri alone, Kenya could buy Bill Gates and Microsoft in just 2 years.”
“If we grew bangi in Nyeri alone, Kenya will have 10 percent of IMF total cash reserves. In short we will never have to borrow a single coin in the future.”
On corruption, he said his administration will hang those found guilty of stealing from the public coffers.
Further, he said the country will rare snakes.
“If we did snake farming in Kenya, each venomous snake farmer will earn an average of $6,000 or Sh600,000 per vial of anti-venom. For example a cobra farmer will make $6,300 from a vial of cobra anti-venom,” he said.
“If we harvest Black mamba anti-venom a Kenyan farmer will make $5,300 per vial.”
He also talked of exporting dog meat with a promise of earning more money for Kenyans.
Also in his manifesto, is a proposal to suspend sections of the constitution and halt the operations of the Standard Gauge railway.
