"WE SHOULD REMOVE THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM LIMIT". ATWOLI STATES

Veteran trade unionist Francis Atwoli, a staunch defender of workers’ rights, yesterday stirred political waters by advocating for the removal of presidential term limits. Atwoli, known for his fiery rhetoric, argued that leadership should be based on competence, not restricted by time. He believes some leaders, particularly those with a proven track record, deserve the opportunity to lead for longer periods, enabling them to complete transformative agendas. To him, term limits unfairly disrupt leaders who genuinely deliver for their people.

Critics, however, see Atwoli’s remarks as a veiled attempt to endorse incumbency and entrench power. Opponents argue that lifting term limits could encourage dictatorship and erode democracy. Despite the backlash, Atwoli insists his proposal is about fostering continuity and stability, claiming the current system is too restrictive for long-term national development. Whether his stance gains traction or fades into political noise remains to be seen.
