    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While the petitioner has a right to petition this House, we also have a civic duty to advise the petitioner that this country is struggling with officers whose term is capped to two terms. Most governors who are doing their last term have gone rogue. Some have even disappeared from their offices because they say they are going home. So, as much as the petitioner has a right to petition this House, in future, we are thinking of removing term limits so that one can run for as long as they have a level playing field for Kenyans to decide. The section that the petitioner seeks to amend falls within what the court referred to as ‘eternity clauses’. They can only be amended through a referendum. I do not think the Committee should waste taxpayers’ money going through this Petition. It should be dismissed and the petitioner advised accordingly. I do not support."
