Members of the Rastafari Society of Kenya gathered outside Milimani Law Court to demand legal recognition of their faith and cannabis decriminalization. Dressed in traditional attire and carrying calabashes symbolizing cultural values, participants sang spiritual songs while awaiting hearing dates for their constitutional challenge.
The petition argues that prohibiting cannabis violates religious freedom, privacy protections, and equality guarantees under Kenyan law. Defense attorneys Shadrack Wambui and Danstan Omari contended that other religious communities practice their customs without interference. The group displayed three flags representing national identity, African unity, and Black pride during the demonstration.
