    "content": "In the Petition, the Petitioner states that – a) The crime and controversy around cannabis sativa derives from its prohibition and not the plant itself, its uses or users; b) Kenya’s national drug policy and legislation are unduly anchored on the 1961 UN Single Convention on Drugs and Narcotics, which was ratified by Kenya before the country gained independence; and c) The cannabis sativa plant has multiple documented medicinal and industrial uses, and decriminalizing the plant would result in great social and economic benefits for the country. The petitioner, therefore, prays that the Senate investigates this matter and makes appropriate recommendations, thereon. Among the proposals made by the Petitioner is for the Senate to – i) Initiate the process of Kenya’s withdrawal from the 1961 United Nations (UN) Single Convention on Drugs and Narcotics; The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
