New York — President Uhuru Kenyatta pledged Thursday that he will respect the Constitution's limit of two terms in the nation's top office.
Asked if he might aim to become Kenya's Prime Minister if a constitutional referendum creates such a post, Mr Kenyatta said, "I have no clue if there is going to be a premiership in the Constitution."
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.
Lower-middle-income African countries such as Kenya are asking for "fiscal space" and are not calling for the debt forgiveness sought by some of the poorer countries on the continent, Mr Kenyatta said.
