The Member of Parliament for Sotik has apologised after saying at a rally attended by President William Ruto that the president would serve only one term, the-star.co.ke reports.
According to the outlet, the lawmaker attributed the remark to a slip of the tongue and issued the apology in response to the reaction it drew. The-star.co.ke did not publish further details of the statement or the event in its summary.
The episode centres on a public meeting held in the presence of the president, where the MP's comment about a single term was made. The-star.co.ke reports that he has since moved to distance himself from the remark, describing it as unintentional.
The apology places the Sotik legislator among those seeking to clarify their public statements after addressing a presidential rally. The-star.co.ke's account does not indicate whether any response has come from the presidency or from other officials.
What to watch next: whether the MP faces any further fallout within his party or constituency over the remark, and whether the presidency responds.
