Kimilili Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa now says that the Kenya Kwanza regime should rule for the next 5o years.
Speaking during an interview on Monday, April 15, the legislature alleged that if the regime rules for 50 years, it would ensure continuity.
"The only thing that we would want for continuity is that the Kenya Kwanza government rules at least for the next fifty years like Chama Cha Mapinduzi in Tanzania and ANC in South Africa," Barasa stated.
The Legislator added," We can still do so, by not necessarily removing the term limits, but by ensuring that the Presidents who would come after President Ruto has completed his 10-year constitutional limit, would pick it up from the progress Ruto would have made at that time."
However, Barasa's sentiments did not augur well with a section of netizens who criticized him.
