Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria insists President Uhuru Kenyatta will not attempt to continue staying in power as being suggested.
In a recent interview, former Jubilee Vice Chairman David Murathe claimed that the president could proceed as Prime Minister when his term ends in 2022.
“The only thing the President can’t do is to run for Presidency but, under the new political dispensation envisaged by the BBI team, we anticipate new political formations that will be all-encompassing and inclusive,” said Mr Murathe as quoted by Nation.
Kuria, however, insisted on Monday that Uhuru is only keen to secure a good legacy.
He said the President will not endorse anyone as believed by State House mandarins.
"I am certain the President will not want to suffer the ignominy of sacrificing his legacy at the altar of such transient goals. And I am even more certain the President will follow the footpaths of Kibaki and he will neither try to influence his own succession let alone campaigning for anyone," he said in part of a Facebook post.
The vocal MP seen to be allied to Deputy President William Ruto warned those putting Uhuru under pressure, arguing that the Head of State wants a peaceful and prosperous country.
"Those parking their caravan trucks outside State House waiting for Uhuru Kenyatta to don campaign regalia are wasting their time. Uhuru Kenyatta is only looking forward to a stable, peaceful and prosperous Kenya and a blissful retirement," he noted.
