Wednesday, October 2, 2024 - President William Ruto, through Parliament, has invited Kenyans for public participation on a proposal by Nandi County Senator Samson Cherargei to extend the presidential term to seven years.
Cherargei claims his bill aims to give more time for an elected president, as well as other elected officials, to deliver on their mandates. However, experts suggest it is a strategy by President William Ruto to extend his rule.
Under Kenyan law, a president is eligible to serve a maximum of two five-year terms.
However, Cherargei, a close
ally of President William Ruto, argued that the current period is not enough
for an elected president, or other elected leaders, to fulfill their
constitutional mandate.
Though Cherargei's bill has
been kept hidden by the government to avoid public outrage, the Senate has
published a notice for public participation that will commence tomorrow and
ends on October 25th.
Here is the senate invitation for public participation to allow Ruto to rule for seven years.
