News Hub Creator2h
Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi has alleged that the recent bill proposing an extension of the presidential term limit is a scheme orchestrated by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Wamumbi states that Gachagua is using the bill to portray President William Ruto’s administration negatively, aiming to create a perception of self-interest and ambition within the government. The legislator claimed that this move was intended to spark public disapproval, with the ultimate goal of undermining the president’s reputation and administration.
The bill, which has been officially presented by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, has sparked widespread debate and drawn strong reactions from Kenyans. Many citizens, concerned about potential shifts in democratic governance, have expressed opposition to any attempts to alter the presidential term limits. This sentiment is driven by fears that such changes could lead to a consolidation of power and reduce accountability within the government. The proposed bill, seen by critics as a threat to Kenya’s democratic values, has caused concern about the direction in which the country’s leadership might be heading.
Senator Cherargei has maintained that the bill aims to bring about necessary constitutional amendments; however, the broader public perception leans toward viewing it as a political maneuver. The suspicion surrounding Gachagua’s alleged involvement adds an additional layer of complexity, fueling speculation over the motives behind the bill.
However, Gachagua was impeached by both the National Assembly and the Senate while undergoing treatment in Karen Hospital. It remains unseen on how the bill will escalate. Gachagua’s fate on whether the impeachment will be permanent or not is in the hands of the Senate.
