Uhuru: I didn’t have time for exchanges with Raila

President Kenyatta has no regrets for not attending the presidential debate that took place on 24 July 2017. Even after Kenyans took to social media and criticized the president for not attending the debate Uhuru, said that the debate was a waste of time.

Speaking in Nyeri County at Othaya town, president Uhuru said his administration’s track record spoke for itself no justification was needed in a televised debate whatsoever.

“ I have been in the government for slightly over four years now and our track record speaks for itself. There was no way I was going to debate with someone who does not know where we are coming from and where we are headed to. I didn’t have time for exchanges with such a person”, said president Kenyatta.

He also alleged that the media has never supported him and that the debate was meant to “pin him down”.

Mr Raila, during the presidential debate, accused president Uhuru’s government of mega corruption and the president did not take it lightly;

“I heard Raila say that there was grand corruption in government when he was prime minister and that there was nothing he could do to curb the runaway graft because he was only a coordinator of government functions. Which kind of a person is that? After watching and listening to him, I looked at the heavens and thanked God that I did not debate such a person”, said president Kenyatta.

President Kenyatta also went ahead and urged Kenyans to give him another opportunity to finish what he started.
