Mwingi West MP Charles Nguna has publicly declared his opposition to recent proposals suggesting the extension of term limits for elected leaders in Kenya. In a strong statement, Nguna emphasized his commitment to upholding the current constitution and its provisions.
“I will not support the legislative proposal to extend the term limit of elected leaders in Kenya. Let us respect our good constitution,” Nguna stated firmly.
The debate over the extension of term limits has been gaining traction, with some leaders, including Kiambu Senator and Nandi Senator Cheregei, leading the call for amendments. Proponents argue that extending term limits would provide elected officials more time to implement their development agendas without the pressure of short election cycles.
However, Nguna joins a growing number of lawmakers and civil society groups who believe that changing the constitution’s stipulations could undermine Kenya’s democratic principles. His statement underscores a commitment to safeguarding the integrity of Kenya’s governance system, encouraging adherence to the current electoral timelines.
The discussion on whether to adjust term limits is expected to intensify as the matter makes its way through the legislative process, sparking debates on the balance between effective governance and constitutional fidelity.
