Muungano wa Vyama vinavyounda Serikali (UDA) umesema hauhusiki na pendekezo la mmoja wa Wabunge wake aliyetaka ukomo wa Mihula ya Urais uwe kwa umri wa Mgombea usiozidi miaka 75.
Marekebisho hayo ya Katiba kama yatakubaliwa na UDA, yatalazimika kuidhinishwa kwa Kura ya Maoni. Kama yatapita, Rais William Ruto atasalia madarakani kwa miaka 20
Kiongozi wa Upinzani nchini Uganda, Bobi Wine, amewataka Wakenya kuwa waangalifu kwa kulinganisha hali ilivyo kwao baada ya kuondolewa ukomo wa mihula chini ya Rais Yoweri Museveni.
=======================
Kenya's ruling coalition has denied having a hand in a proposal by one of its lawmakers to remove presidential term limits and replace it with an age limit.
The country's constitution currently allows for a president to serve a maximum of two five-year terms.
But the MP, Salah Yakub, early this week suggested that the ruling coalition would push for an amendment to end term limits and have the president's age capped at 75 years instead.
Such a constitutional amendment would have to be approved in a referendum. If successful, it would see President William Ruto, 55, remain in office for 20 years.
The proposal has sparked a storm in the country and the president's party, UDA, has distanced itself from it.
"The party has not been part of discussions in regard to term limits. The party is busy implementing The Plan [President Ruto's campaign pledges] and will not be part of sideshows," said the party in a tweet..
Uganda's opposition leader, Bobi Wine, urged Kenyans to be vigilant and drew comparisons to the scrapping of term limits by President Yoweri Museveni.
