Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei claims that the Senate has received over 500,000 emails, with 60% of Kenyans supporting his bill to extend President William Ruto’s term from five to seven years.
According to the Senator, only 40% of Kenyans opposed the bill. The Senator made the revelation during a Senate hearing on Tuesday, where he revealed that Gen Zs have been flooding his phone with phone calls and messages over the Bill.
“As of now, 60% of Kenyans are supporting my Bill, 40% are opposing it,” Cherargei alleged.
During his contribution, the senator further alleged that his privacy was breached while commenting on the data privacy issue during the Parliamentary session.
“I have been a victim of a data privacy breach for the past week. My phone has been ringing, I have received insults. I have received praises,” the senator alleged.
“My phone has over 12,000 messages, I have close to 20,000 WhatsApp messages, very many phone calls.”
The senator’s Constitutional Amendment Bill intends to extend the terms of office of the president, county governors, Members of Parliament, and county assembly members from five to seven years, among other constitutional reforms.
