Monday, October 28, 2024 – Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has been on the
receiving end over his bill seeking to extend the presidential term limit.
Speaking during a press
conference in his office where he sought refuge, Cherargei revealed that
Kenyans have bombarded him with endless calls and text messages over his
controversial bill.
He noted that many
Kenyans had contacted him, seeking to have their voices heard to the point
of his phone “blowing up”.
The Senator however urged
Kenyans to consider channeling their responses to the official Parliament
channels as those are the officially recognised avenues provided for
in the law.
”I want to thank Kenyans that I
have also not had peace, my phone is almost collapsing, I have received over
10,000 SMSs and hundreds and thousands of WhatsApp messages and calls,’’
Cherargei revealed.
Cherargei’s bill seeks to amend
the Constitution to extend the term limits of elected leaders from the current
5 years to 7 years.
The bill also seeks to create
the Office of the Opposition Leader and that of a Prime Minister.
