After a UDA lawmaker revealing plans to seek the scrapping of the presidential term limit, noting that the cap should be on age, not period of service, former presidential candidate Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert alias Bobi Wine has come out and advised the people of Kenya not to temper with amending their constitution.
Bobi Wine said that this will affect the democratic process of Kenya which will turn their country to be like Uganda.
Should the MPs have their way, they would give Dr William Samuel Ruto the sitting President, the leeway to seek re-election for four terms, or 20 years. Dr Ruto is aged 55 and has not indicated any intention to contest beyond the current term limit.
Dear Kenyans, BE VIGILANT. Save your country from Musevenism. This may come off as a lone MP making a ridiculous suggestion, but this is how it starts. Exactly how Museveni began schemes to remove TERM and AGE limits. Defend your Constitution before it's too weak to defend you! pic.twitter.com/43qPzK3nDq
