Why Ruto, Kalonzo skipped the presidential debate

The slated presidential debate which was held on 17 July 2017, was thrown into disarray and Kenyans were left disappointed after hurrying to their seating rooms to follow the much hyped-advertised debate. Surprisingly, only one running mate, Eliud Muthiora Kariara, out of eight turned up for the event.

However, the notably awaited candidates were the two protagonists, Jubilee’s William Ruto and NASA’s Kalonzo Musyoka. They gave the event a wide berth to the disappointment of the public.
