Ruto’s Close Ally Hint on Dumping Kenya Kwanza

Kenya Kwanza government blogger Biacha has squashed Dennis Itumbi and Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei’s proposal to have the constitution changed to have the presidential term stretched to 7 years from the current 5.

According to Arap Cheragei, the proposal aims at increasing the term limits to increase the chances of enhancing economic development, which can’t be achieved in 5 years. He has also tabled other proposals.

Senator Arap Kiprotich Cherargei: Yesterday, I submitted my memorandum to the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) on a number of issues, including:

1. The re-introduction of the office of Prime Minister.

2. The creation of the office of the official opposition leader.

3. Parties to give 30% to the youth, women, and PWDs during nominations in the general elections

4. The senate is to be given veto powers on the bills in Parliament.

5. The extension of the presidential term of 7 years of each term for two terms from the current 5 years to allow stability and pragmatic development in the country.

6. The increment to 40% allocation to counties in national revenue

However, according to Bianca, Cherargei is imagining stating that the student who performs poorly in the classroom will continue to record poor results even after repeating the same.

Bianca: Senator Cherargei’s proposal to have our constitution amended to increase the presidential term limit to 7 years is stretching imagination beyond the realms of sanctity! A student who performs poorly in class will still perform poorly if the number of lessons is increased!

At the moment, we should be talking about economic recovery mechanisms and not how to amend the constitution to increase the presidential term limit! Kibaki did his two terms each in five years and performed exemplary well, despite being disturbed by Raila Odinga!

Uhuru did his two terms, and he squandered his ten years! President William Ruto should do his two terms and disappear! We told Kenyans that it was an economic recovery moment, but now we’re talking about constitutional changes.
