Thursday, October 31, 2024 - Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has slammed Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, terming him useless.
Taking
to his X page, Sudi termed Cherargei's opinions as useless, noting that they were only
coated with polished words.
“Samson
Cherargei is spewing complex English to intrigue and confound. Yet, beneath the
polished words, he is as useless as chicken eggs. Very useless! Very useless!”
Sudi wrote.
Cherargei,
who is a staunch supporter and ally of President William Ruto, has been facing
criticism from Kenyans and political leaders alike following his bill
proposing an extension of the presidential term limit from five years to seven
years.
Even
Ruto, who is set to benefit the most if the bill is passed, distanced
himself from the proposal, urging members of Parliament to resist any attempts
to increase the term limits for either personal or political gain.
The
UDA party also released a statement opposing the proposal earlier this month
through its Secretary General Hassan Omar, who said that the move goes against
Kenya’s democratic ideals and threatens democratic gains made so far.
National
Assembly majority leader and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah also joined the debate
and termed the bill's premise as “dead on arrival.”
The
opposition party ODM on Monday also rejected the bill to extend presidential
term limits.
The bill, whose public participation ended on Saturday, seeks to extend all electoral government positions terms from the current five years to seven years and will benefit Governors, MPs, and MCAs.
It also proposed the introduction of
a new office for the prime minister among others.
