Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa has ventured into a fierce debate about the pressure to remove the presidential term limit.

The UDA MP said Kenya Kwanza will rule for at least 50 years even without removing the presidential term limit.

Barasa disagreed with leaders pushing for the removal of the constitutional term limit insisting that even without it, the ruling coalition can rule for at least half a century.

The Member of Parliament explained that his position that Kenya kwanza will rule for at least 50 years does not mean that the 10-year presidential term will be abolished.

Barasa said that the continuity of the government of Kenya Kwanza will be achieved by ensuring that the successor of President William Ruto will be from the ruling coalition.

He continue said that Kenya Kwanza will be in the same league as Chama Cha Mapinduzi of Tanzania and South Africa’s ANC to ensure that it continues even after Ruto leaves.

The two parties are some of the parties that have ruled for decades in Africa, long after their founders left power.

The Member of Parliament was contributing to the debate on the pressure to remove the presidential term limit to allow President Ruto to rule forever.
