Central Organisation for Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli insists President Uhuru Kenyatta is still too young to retire.
Uhuru, 58, is set to retire in 2022, having served his second term as President and would be the first youngest leader to vacate an executive office.
Speaking in Moiben on Saturday, Mr Atwoli insisted that the law must be changed to accommodate Uhuru, adding that he must continue being around the scene.
The veteran leader said the Building Bridges Initiative report will allow Kenyans to give in their inputs and ensure the law is changed without much animosity.
“I said about three years ago that this country needs a constitutional amendment because those in leadership are still young to retire and a new law will accommodate them in leadership,” he said in reference to Uhuru.
“Take this, the BBI will be endorsed by all Kenyans early in the morning and Kenyans should not to worry about the report because any contentious issues will be ironed out before the draft is voted in a referendum,” he said.
The quest to change the law has divided the countries leadership, with Deputy President William Ruto pulling strings ahead of BBI report launching.
At Sagana State Lodge on Friday, President Uhuru Kenyatta said he does not mind serving as Prime Minister of Kenya after retirement.
“I do not know the contents of the BBI report yet I hear people claiming Uhuru Kenyatta wants to become the Prime Minister of Kenya. I wouldn’t mind him being in leadership in such a post, though let us deal with the current situation first,” Mr Kenyatta said.
