Kalonzo: I'm Ready to Support President Kenyatta for a Third Term

Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka now says he is ready to support President Kenyatta if he decides to extend his tenure for another term.

Speaking during a meeting of Kamba leaders in Machakos County, Musyoka says plans are underway to amend the Constitution to remove the presidential term limit.

Musyoka explains that there is a general consensus among opposition parties to unite with President Kenyatta to oversee a review of the Constitution to expand the executive.

“I foresee a situation where Wiper Democratic Movement will go into coalition with Jubilee, ODM, ANC, Ford Kenya and form one indivisible political juggernaut ambaye itaproduce the next Prime Minister under a new Constitution,"  says Musyoka.

He says the current Constitution is bad for the country since it's skewed to winner-takes-it-all.

“But now we have found a solution and the solution is our preparedness to amend our Constitution and to make this country once and for all an all-inclusive State,” he says.

Musyoka has also declared that he's ready to back President Uhuru for a third term when the law is changed to remove the presidential term limit.

 “Tuungane, with other communities, tumsaidie ndugu Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. Kama atasema after the new Constitution tumeiunda na mimi nataka kuendelea mbele ntamwambia nitakusupport (Let’s come together with other communities and help our brother Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. If he says after the new Constitution that he wants to proceed I will support him).”

Speaking at the same function, former Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama notes:  “We pray to God that his power is revealed, Kalonzo ascends to power with the others when we review the Constitution so that we create a Kenya where freedom is not for one person but for everyone.”

Kenya does not need any of these gangster Dynasties changing the constitution because of greed. This greed and changing the term limits to remain in power is what has destroyed Africa. In Africa leaders remain in power to protect what they have acquired through corruption. We have a people driven constitution. If you can have a handshake, drink some whisky with a few friends and decide to share the government and tear the constitution apart, what is that constitution for? It is not worthy the paper it is written on. No one needs to remain in power, no matter how good they think they are.
Do not lie to Kenyans. The Dynasties are changing the constitution, not for Kenyans but for the families and friends who have held on to power since independence. Kenya is on the wrong path. It will take a revolution to stop the greed and many will suffer and die in poverty supporting Dynasties that do not care about citizens. In fact the Dynasties see and call their citizens "Wachenzi" just like the colonizers did.
God save Kenya!!

1. Its Ethnic superiority they are trying to entrench.
Here in America they call it 'White Supremacy'.

2. These families are not Dynasties.
They lack the ' je ne sais quoi', dignity or class to even qualify to be called dynasties.They are just political families.

Political families are everywhere in the world.There so many.

There is no tribe in Kenya with a dynasty type of formation.Maybe the Oromo. They have many 'Kings' OR spiritual leader.who lives in Ethopia.

1. Uhuru Kenyatta MUST GO! .He has made Kenyans hate Kenya.Now people are busy calling for secession thanks to his failed leadership. The man is a complete disaster

2. Uhuru Kenyatta needs to go to rehab.The man is an addict.William Ruto needs to go to Mathare hospital, the man is drunk with impunity and he thinks its normal.

3. Ethnic superiority is the issue in Kenya.Not the 'Winner take all' system of government.

4. Having an 'Official Opposition' office is a foolish idea.

5. All politicians should be allowed to support or oppose any policies and issues that affects their constitutes without being called 'Official Leader of Opposition".

Kalonzo, those of us who know are aware that you were brought to politics by the the likes of one dead mulu mutisya (bure) back in the day. They kept you in politics power circles despite yuo being a NON starter and completely a NON CHARISMATIC person. Time and again you have shamed your self and the AKAMBA nation by your useless utterences, water mellon,mpitia katkikati, errand boy etc., and now you want to ammend the Katiba to get rid of term limits. who are you leading and where to?. Kalonzo you are and have been irrelevant then and NOW.Your character is akin to that of the hyena which can not kill for his own meal but it follows to eat the remains of what has been killed by other Hunters in the wild.
Kalonzo you are FAKE and the AKAMBA have no use for you. We will work with Governors: NGILu, Mutua and Kibwana.Keep on looking for your political crumbs among the politically DEAD.

How deluded is this piece of joke? Can you believe how out of touch with reality these politicians are? He thinks it's okay to spout such diarrhea from his mouth.

The constitution is supreme and is not subject to the whims of a few dynasties. We the people ought to decide when the constitution needs amendments, not some blue eyed dreamy water melons who licks ar*e.

All what these guys think is power and money? The likes of Kalonzo should retire and go grow watermelons. They do well in Ukambani. When you are devoid of ideas, just shut up and go home. We know you Kalonzo. Right now you are afraid of Kibwana, Mutua, Ngilu alliance. That’s what you want to scuttle. You also think you can hoodwink the Kikuyu by dangling the possibility of Uhuru running for a third term in order for them to support your devious agenda. All you want is to either be a PM or a DPM. You are power hungry but my friend, your time is up. You are irrelevant in the political scene in Kenya. Ask you friends RAO and his cahoots if they still think you have any juice left. Bye.

He should not be quoted anywhere in the media. He always sounds like a damn fool every time he opens his mouth. Nothing intellectual here. Please go to the farm and never come out. Nothing to see here.

No no and no.After your 2 terms are over people will choose another president.We cannot keep on shifting the goal posts.Kalonzo should be ashamed.He seems to think that Uhuru is the best president Kenya will have.Terrible suggestion by somebody who wanted to be ptesident.
It is also important to note that the voters have not said such athing.Lets stop reciycling these old politicians. We hand many capable leaders,and we should give them achange if they campaign and convince the masses that they are worthy candidates.
