A section of political leaders allege that there could be a plot to extend President Uhuru Kenyatta’s hold on power.

There are indications the BBI may have a political space for President Kenyatta should the Executive be expanded.

The president himself lightheartedly hinted at last weekend’s meeting with Mt Kenya leaders at Sagana State Lodge that he wouldn’t mind taking up a leadership position should it be created.

Narc Kenya Leader Martha Karua advised the President not to take the bait of extending his term beyond the current period, saying such a move would be unconstitutional.

“The term limit is to ensure that nobody presides over a government for more than two terms. If you are to amend the Constitution and get a Prime Minister position, who is the head of government, then a person who has been President for two consecutive terms cannot be Prime Minister,” Karua said.

“Those thoughts are totally unconstitutional. Let us be frank and let us not mislead each other. A good friend is the one who tells you the truth.”
