KOT react to Uhuru’s explanation for snubbing presidential debate


Kenyans on Twitter on Tuesday reacted to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s explanation that he missed the debate because ‘it was a waste of time’.

The president said he had nothing to debate with opposition leader Raila Odinga, hence deliberately snubbed the presidential debate.

The statement elicited mixed reactions online with some Kenyans urging the President to focus on campaigns, while others faulting him for snubbing millions of Kenyans who tuned to watch.

The presidential debate was held live on all television stations on Monday with three fringe candidates showing up for the first session and only one for the second one.
