Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa’s new push to increase the term limit of office holders from a maximum of two terms to three must resisted. This constitutional amendment is typically common when the leadership is not averse to bending rules to entrench themselves and extend their stay in office.
There are many reasons why this attempted term extension must be nipped in the bud. Significantly, the Sports Act stipulates that officials of all national sports must not stay in office beyond the statutory two-term limit. This law is clear that each term will last four years.
