UDA leaders disown proposal to remove presidential term limit

Relationships
 Salah Yakub. [Jonah Onyango, Standard]

Barely three months in office, the Kenya Kwanza government is in the eye of the storm after one of its MPs Salah Yakub (UDA) lifted the veil on a plan to scrap presidential term limit, through a constitutional amendment.

At the same time the first time MP is seeking to have the presidential age limit set at 75, a suggestion that was viewed as an attempt to lock out ODM leader, Raila Odinga who is already 77 years.

Although Yakub is now the target of criticism, and has been disowned by his party and dismissed by the opposition as a daydreamer, he insisted that the information he divulged to the public is the truth and will soon be debated in Parliament.
