New Bill seeks safe landing for those eyeing presidency

Parliament is pushing to change election laws with the aim of giving presidential candidates and their running mates a soft landing should they fail in their bid for the highest political office.

MPs want the Elections Act amended to allow presidential candidates and their running mates to contest for any other elective seats during general elections.

When elected, they would then relinquish the other seats, occasioning by-elections. It is estimated that a by-election costs nearly Sh40 million. The Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill 2012 sponsored by Nambale MP Chris Okemo will be scrutinised at the committee stage today.

Problems can get out of proportion, and not only in the wee small hours. Don't let the problems eclipse the Master. Let the Master eclipse the problems.

smile In anycase, the question is also rhetorical.

It doesn't make sense for the country to have gone through all that anxiety of overhauling the constitution only for some MPs to now come back and try to change such a fundamental thing in the constitution.

Whether old or new constitution, this move by Hon.Okemo is urtterly retrogrsive to say the least.

This is not a constitutional amendment. It is an amendment to the Elections Act. There is nothing unconstitutional about it.
