Kenyatta University Student Found Dead After Disappearing for Days

Professor George Wajakoyah of the Roots Party and former presidential candidate in Kenya's 2022 elections, has recently sparked public discourse over the proposed amendments to the Presidential Transition Act.

Known for his bold and unconventional approach to politics, Wajackoyah has not minced words when expressing his concerns about the potential impact of the new bill on Kenya’s democratic processes.

The Presidential Transition Act, enacted in 2012, serves as the cornerstone for ensuring a smooth transfer of power between outgoing and incoming presidents. 

This legislation has historically played a critical role in maintaining political stability during one of the most sensitive periods in governance—the change of leadership. 

However, proposed amendments have raised eyebrows, with some political figures, including Wajackoyah, fearing the changes may alter the democratic balance.

During a recent public address, Wajackoyah cautioned that such amendments could potentially grant excessive authority to the sitting president. 

“We cannot allow this country to slide back into a system where one man controls everything,” he reportedly stated. 

For Wajackoyah, the amendments are not just about power dynamics but also about upholding the principles of accountability, fairness, and democracy enshrined in Kenya’s Constitution.

While the specifics of the proposed amendments remain under scrutiny, political analysts have speculated that the changes could include provisions granting the president greater control over the transition process. 

This has fueled concerns among opposition leaders, who worry about the implications for Kenya's already fragile political climate.

Wajackoyah, in his typical fiery style, has warned that if the bill passes, he will mobilize supporters to resist what he perceives as an affront to democracy. 

“I will not sit and watch this country go back to the days of autocracy,” he declared, emphasizing the need for citizens to remain vigilant.

His statement has sparked debate across political circles, with some supporting his stance and others dismissing it as political posturing. 

Regardless, the proposed changes have once again highlighted the delicate balance between political power and constitutional safeguards in Kenya’s governance system.

As the debate continues, all eyes are on the Kenyan Parliament to see how it will navigate this contentious issue.
