Jubilee allied East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) lawmaker Simon Mbugua now claims that plans are underway within the ruling party to amend the constitution.
Speaking on Radio Jambo on Monday evening, Mbugua claimed that the move is aimed at retaining President Uhuru Kenyatta who is constitutionally serving his second and last term.
Uhuru is expected to vacate power upon the election of his successor in the approaching 2022 general election, basing on the 2-term presidential tenure piece of law.
"Uhuru anaenda nyumbani lakini kuna mipango ya kubadilisha katiba. Hata hivyo bado tunangoja msimamo kamili was chama (plans are on course to prolong his stay but the party is yet to officiate the same)," he said.
He, however, did not shed more light on the planned changes which the party too has not opened up about.
The lawmaker who was contributing on the nation's latest political movements further called for calm among Kenyans, at a time when political temperatures are on the rise.
He urged voters to emulate politicians who always come back together after each and every contest, advising that politics should not result in enmity.
"Siasa haina uadui na watu wasishangae kuwaona hawa wanaobishana sasa wakirudiana 2022 (politics is not enmity and people should not be surprised to see the current rivals teaming up in 2022)," said Mbugua.
