Kwaw Kesse is indeed crazy and it’s about time we take his moniker literally. After he was imprisoned and fined for smoking weed in 2015 and asked to be of good behaviour, The Man Insane confessed recently that he still smokes.
As if that’s not enough, the controversial rapper alleged that even Ghanaian legislators smoke weed and this has obviously not gone down well the MPs.
Commenting on this issue, legal practitioner, Gary Nimako says that the law cannot implicate Hiplife artiste Kwaw Kesse simply based on his utterances that he smokes weed.
He however admitted that the musician could be hurled before Parliament to answer some questions relating to his wild allegation.
He said:
“When he is picked up, two things can happen, he can say it’s a mere puff because you will not at that time find him with any weed or narcotic substance at the time that you pick him up. So even the evidence that you require to prove your case will be wanting.
The second leg of the argument is that, when you even pick him up and you find any substance on him, you cannot make any concluding statements that that substance you found on him, is by itself any narcotic substance or it’s weed.
It must go through a laboratory to be tested and a proof of same must be put before the law court, that ‘the substance we tested was weed’ which is a prohibited substance and which we found on him at the time (that he made those utterances).
That will find a court of action in what we call defamation. If you say you know members of parliament who smoke, he has a point to come and name the parliamentarians whom he knows are smoking and if for some reason Parliament thinks that the conduct itself is in contempt of Parliament or it’s offensive, they can invite him to come and show to Parliament who and who he knows in Parliament are smoking weed.”
