The deadline for public submissions on a controversial 7-year term limit proposal for the President and MPs in Kenya is this Friday, October 25, 2024, following uproar over the potential amendment to the Constitution.

• The amendment seeks to extend the President's term from 5 years to 7 years, and also aims to alter terms for MPs, senators, MCAs, and governors to the same duration.
• The proposal is spearheaded by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei from the UDA party, although the party has distanced itself from the Bill.
• A public hearing will be held in the Senate Chamber in Nairobi at 9 am on the deadline date.
