David Mwaure, additionally suggested that if Wajackoyah will be found to be unstable, he should receive the best treatment available in the country and if the test turns out negative the government should enforce its law and apprehend him for committing a felony
"If found to be of unsound mind, he should be accorded the best medical attention possible. However, if found to be of sound mind, then he should be arrested and charged in a court of law for willfully planning to commit and promote a felony," Mwaure added.

The Roots Party presidential candidate had announced his plan to counter the national debt if he will be elected will be that the country will begin the export of dog and snake meat to countries like China and overseas markets that are ready to consume dog and snake meat.
“My government will export snakes and dogs overseas to make more money to pay off the country’s debts,” Wajackoyah told supporters.
Wajackoyah also promised to legalize weed (marijuana) claiming he would allow the cultivation of the plant for research purposes and by licensed experts.
"Marijuana must be cultivated. If even Americans plant marijuana, then our opportunity will be to cultivate marijuana and export it to users out there and use the revenue to build our country," he said.
