Renowned radio personalities Mbusii and Lion Deh have finally weighed in on the vexed question of the legalisation of marijuana in an exclusive interview with a local mainstream television station.
The two waxed lyrical about the medicinal values of the drug, saying that the only issue that they have is with abuse of the drug.
They even called for a referendum on the issue.
"The thing should be made legal. We want the person who made the plant illegal prosecuted. It has benefits but should be used in moderation. That is the referendum that we want. They should not forget us because that is not a drug, it is a plant like any other," Mbusii said.
Marijuana legalisation has divided public opinion.
Mbusii and Lion Deh called on the government to follow the example set by countries that have embraced marijuana legalisation.
They urged Kenyans to rally behind Kibera Member of Parliament Ken Okoth who has taken a legislative approach to legalisation of marijuana.
