Wajackoyah echoed his previous sentiments that his administration will have fresh ministers.

"I will sack all the ministers including the Minister for Internal Security. What I know is that we will have a serious ministry for herbs," Wajackoyah noted in an interview with a local station. His statement followed CS Matiang'i's remarks condemning his infamous agenda pushing for the legalization of cannabis.

"Regrettably, we have also observed leaders mobilizing the youth through misinformation and false promises such as legalization of cannabis for commercial and recreational purposes if they are elected to office.

"They have even cited countries that have legalized cannabis for recreational purposes without providing factual information on controls that have been put in place where such legalization has been allowed," Matiang'i said.
