that is exactly the case, having the mps in office for as many terms as they can manage is what is putting their feet off the ground as though they own this country, we should have limited terms and targets to be met, maybe that will enhance performance and reduce on corruption. But then again, going by history, they will fraud and steel all they can knowing that after ten years they will be no more. cross roads....., where do we turn to?

The MPs are busy holding Kamukunjis and mobilizing everyone instead of mobilizing themselves for deaths and massive starvation affecting Kenya today! MPs, please mobilize yourselves and get the govt to disburse funds for the hunger!

I think the KATIBA in this country should be amended immediately and states this no person who will stand for MPS for more than two terms.We must be like Americans.Being in government for a long time make these mps feel untouchable...... bt i believe in God he is the judge of poor.
