"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I looked at the clause on the Executive, I noted that there is a very clear provision that a serving President will not be allowed to serve for more than ten years. It is in our minds that the founding father of this nation, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta served for 15 years. The second President of this nation served for 24 years. In my mind, continued stay in that high office may inconvenience and cause instability in the nation. Therefore the new clause that talks of a maximum of ten years is really good. It will be a challenge to the holder of that office. It is, therefore, clear now that no President in this nation will ever serve for 20 years or 40 years. That is only limited to 15 years. It is also noted that the bloated Cabinet that has âeatenâ a lot of resources almost draining the Treasury will be reduced to a level of 20 Ministers or 22 Ministers. This is per the desire of this nation. I fully support that provision in the Constitution."
