Christopher Joffre Moses, a director of the company, took to Facebook yesterday, after questions were asked if Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi’s wife or family were involved in the company and whether the company was established with prior knowledge to take advantage of decriminalisation legislation and the establishment of a Cannabis Authority which were piloted by the Attorney General.

The company was registered in February of 2019 naming as directors himself and Jenna-Marie Nahous, who is said to be a relative of the AG’s wife, Mona Nahous-Al-Rawi.

The AG categorically denied any knowledge or involvement in the company and said if he did he would have done what was required and declared knowledge and interest on the floor of both Houses if Parliament when the Bills were being piloted.
