Organisers of the presidential debates have come out in defence of the planned event just a day after Deputy President William Ruto threatened not to participate.

Ruto on Thursday warned he will skip the debate “over media bias” saying that he had noted with concern continued bias and propaganda in a section of the media. But in a rejoinder, Head of Presidential Debates Secretariat Clifford Machoka said that the debates would be conducted in a fair and balanced manner void of any bias.
