The Senate has dismissed reports of planned amendment of the Constitution to extend the presidential term limit from five to seven years.

The Senate’s denial was triggered by a buzz on social media following reports that the controversial Kenya Amendment (No.2) Bill 2024, sponsored by Senator Samson Cherakey, had been clandestinely revived to extend terms of all elected leaders from five to seven years.
