By KEVIN J. KELLEY More by this AuthorIn New YorkPresident Uhuru Kenyatta pledged Thursday that he will respect the Constitution’s limit of two terms in the nation’s top office. “I can tell you that if there is one thing Kenyans are certain about, it is the two-term limit,” Mr Kenyatta stated. Mr Kenyatta also offered assurances that a Kenya-US bilateral trade deal will not contradict or undermine the Africa-wide free-trade arrangement established in 2018. Kenya’s lenders will hopefully develop a common and positive position on debt extension for African countries, just as the African Union has achieved consensus on the need for creating “fiscal space,” Mr Kenyatta added. Official and independent bodies with responsibility for overseeing Kenya's police forces “are being empowered to take action,” Mr Kenyatta told his online audience.
