Senator Kiprotich Cherargei of my great and elegant County of Nandi, is humbly and respectfully proposing for a Constitutional Amendment, that will help lengthen the tenure of the current serving elected leaders from 5 years to 7 years.
As is required by the law, the public, which includes you and I, the ordinary Citizens of this marvelous republic, whose duty is to vote every election cycle, hopeful that those whom we elect will hopefully transform our miserable lives, have now been invited by the Honorable Senate of our great republic, to express our concerns on the matter raised by our ambitious senator from Nandi.
Your reactions, which may include emotional outbursts, reasoned judgements and even unreasonable statements, can only be submitted in oral, written or any other formal form, as long as it is within the confines permitted by our ever auspicious Constitution, which every day, is under the threat of being shredded, embedded, or actually be bombarded, excavated, curved, trimmed and finally be stripped of all its previous glorious clauses or the spirit of what it stood for or was intended to stand for. Your responses may help further this course, slow it or stop it outright.
As for me, Elphas Kipleting Kapzulu , I have been painfully trying to insulate myself from the politics of this nation and of the world at large, but I constantly find myself unable to shut my eyes and ears from the events taking place across our borders and abroad. I wish I could be somehow like that proverbial beast of the Book of Daniel which only has a mouth and eyes but has no ears. But I do have ears. I have listened a lot and my greatest desire has been to further the ideals of that coming eternal monarchy of Jesus Christ the LORD of LORDS Himself. I however feel obliged to render my opinion on the current happenings as I focus on the inevitable future. The seven years proposed by our young senator is not that bad. Let me tell you why.
Seven years lengthens our desire or need for change, especially when the current conditions don't seem fair or favorable. Isn't that good? Because we always elect leaders then two years later we want to vote them out or impeach them, because of becauses, ranging from insubordination, corruption, abuse of office, incompetence etc.
So to prevent us from beginning early campaigns against the leaders we elect voluntarily and willingly, or from impeaching them every two years after election, it is proper for us to lengthen their lifeline by adding two more years to the five they already, to compensate for the hope we always lose just two years after every election year. Isn't that fair ladies and gentlemen?
With those few remarks, ladies and gentlemen, I do support the amendment.
I oblige.
Yours Truly,
Your Fellow Citizen In Hope,
Elphas Kipleting Kapzulu
