The Kenyan Senate has refuted claims that the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025, aims to extend the terms of elected officials.

• The Senate clarified that the Bill neither alters current term limits (five to seven years) nor creates new executive positions like a Prime Minister.
• The allegations were dismissed as “incorrect and misleading” following accusations from rights groups, including Vocal Africa.
• The Bill’s primary objective is to strengthen devolution and enhance Parliament’s oversight role, including elevating the Senate and establishing a constitutionally protected County Assembly Fund.
