Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has propped the current five year term in Kenya be extended to seven years.
The proposal to alter the presidential terms limit sparked angry reactions from opposition lawmakers who see it as a ploy to have President William Ruto stay longer in office.
The push by Ruto’s man and Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei to increase the term to seven years from the current five has fired up skeptics who have all along suspected Ruto could engineer a change to the law so he serves for longer.
Cherargei is not only a member of the President’s ruling UDA party but is also among his fiercest defenders.
