Playing down any possibility of Raila Odinga joining UDA candidate William Ruto in scheduled presidential debates tonight Sifuna said from analysis there will be little value extracted from the debate.

In a press statement released by Raila Odinga’s Campaign Spokesperson, Prof Makau Mutua, Azimio explained that the demand by UDA candidate William Ruto to have certain issues left out deviated from the purpose of the national debate.
“That is why he has demanded that the debate not focus on corruption, ethics, and governance. These are issues at the core of the Azimio campaign; any debate devoid of these questions will be an insult to the intelligence of Kenyans,” he stated.
