The Kenyan Senate has refuted claims circulating on social media regarding a planned constitutional amendment to extend the presidential term limit from five to seven years. This denial addresses a buzz around the controversial Kenya Amendment (No.2) Bill 2024.

• The Senate confirmed that the official Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2025, does not propose extending terms for the President, Governors, MPs, or MCAs.
• Senator Samson Cherakey sponsored the bill, which the Senate clarifies does not create a Prime Minister's position or alter the executive structure.
• The bill's primary objective is to strengthen devolution and the Senate's role, enhancing bicameralism and financial oversight, and protecting County Assemblies. Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah confirmed the Senate's Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights recommended rejecting the (No. 2) Bill, 2024 in its entirety.
