Skepticism or a new normal?

Yesterday the Ministry of Health asked the public to resume wearing of masks.This was expected as Covid 19 had,over some time now,been reported to have risen.New infections had risen,thanks perhaps to the escalating political rallies and the prevailing cold conditions in the county.

But Kenyans ara a skeptical lot.Many believe that it’s too early to be coerced into covering their faces.This is seen in the light of the fact that the Ministry has suspended the wearing of the clothe a few months back.

They believe that maybe the Ministry is foreseeing some grant or any aid from some donor or benefactor somewhere. Kenyans are wary of being used by a few people in the establishment as a conduit for personal enrichment.

The new directive by CS Kagwe comes in the wake of another directive requiring every one to take a jab meant to keep the virus at bay.Many people went for it,though the Ministry insists that the percentage total of all who took the jab is way too low by international standards.

All said and done,the donning of masks is a healthy exercise as medics insist that it’s one sure way of preventing spread of Tuberculosis and other airborne diseases.

The self styled Rasta inspired presidential hopeful was cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to run for the highest office on land after initially being turned away after he didn’t meet the requirements as he submitted his credentials.

Mr Wajackoya and his running mate one Ms Wambua are serious with the journey;they have clearly outlined their agenda,and they are not mincing their words: theirs is to legalize marijuana and make it an export crop then use the proceeds to pay off the collosal Chinese debts .

Good though that the duo,just like all presidential contenders are concerned about the debts,but to imagine that they will put their effort in cultivating the weed,that may not quite go down well with the general public.

First,the Roots Party of Kenya leader will receive a backlash from the clergy and activists and several other interested persons.Weed, though not new to Kenya is one of the many drugs abused in the country with it’s far-reaching effects being known to all and sundry.

Perhaps Mr Wajackoya is drawing inspiration from Rastafarian culture where the weed is treated as a ‘sacrament’ that burns out corruption in the minds of men,apart from making one high and preparing one for meditation with Jah.

Be that as it may,but the thought of legalising it in Kenya ,a country endowed with a variety of religions and sects, that may hit a dead end.

Firstly,the leader hasn’t spelled out how he intends to cash in on the crop to an extent that the produce can service the Chinese loans.Methink that the debts are too huge to be repaid that it renders reliance on proceed from weed as a ‘badly concocted joke’.

Second,Wajackoya knows clearly- I suppose-the crops that do well in the country and that brings the country lots of money: coffee,tea,flowers and even miraa.Why the insistence on bhang?Why not maize,cane, vegetables like mushrooms…Or even traditional crop like cassava,millet, groundnut and sorghum which do well in ASALS of Kenya.

Fourth, much as Wajackoya wants to clear the debts that have made lives miserable in Kenya, and thus rendering millions into depression, but he must also remember that depression is real, and it might not end soon even if he becomes president.And so he should know that if bhang is cultivated then more and more of the disillusioned people will consume it : and it’s overall results cannot be overemphasized.F

Finally I would submit perhaps Mr Wajackoya wants to experiment on something and we can’t put him off this early,we hope to see him in rallies drumming up support for his agenda.Who knows,he could be the president that we have badly needed in this country.
