WHY UHURU KENYATTA SKIPPED PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 2017

Opposition flag-bearer Raila Odinga showed up for the mouthwatering presidential debate between him and his main Chall

enger Uhuru Kenyatta. The development came even after he had threatened not to show up unless his opponent Uhuru Kenyatta showed up.

Uhuru Kenyatta had until the last minute not made it clear if he would attend the debate, having claimed the organiser's did not engage his team throughout the preparation. 

Earlier in the day, National Super Alliance (NASA) flag-bearer Raila Odinga had maintained he will only attend the presidential debate if President Uhuru Kenyatta is present. 

On the other hand,we came to realize that Uhuru canceled scheduled tours to Samburu and Marsabit on Monday, July 24, a clear indication that he could attend the presidential debate and face off with his main challenger, Raila Odinga. 

However by 8:30 when the debate kicked off, Uhuru Kenyatta had not shown up and instead Raila Odinga took the podium alone. It was no doubt a face-off that many Kenyans anticipated considering the profile of the two presidential candidates.
