For 25 years what did he do in kibera, today along railway line i see decent low cost housing built during UK tenure that is less than 4 years, he speaks but i dont think it is translated to reality

This is Ambitho crunching the number for Uhuru

UK may regret this no show moment. RAO took those 90 minutes airtime and immediately hooked the country.

He is naturally a rambler more comfortable in open spaces with crowds drowning his words so I have to say I was very impressed with how he articulated issues.

He was able to explain the 2008 maize scandal and cleanly clear his name.

He explained his position on rent and clearly stated that his solutions would for starters target slum lords who don't even own the land and would be within the law. At the end he further stated that they would focus on large scale low housing projects to provide dignified accomodation to the youth and single mothers ala as done in Singapore etc.

He was conciliatory and clearly decoupled the UK govt from the larger Kikuyu tribe and only referred to the benefits of power as being enjoyed by his friends and not the entire tribe.

To me those 90 minutes easily earned him a large chunk of most undecided voters and probably gave him strong momentum is the swing zones like Maasaini, Kisii and NE.

Showing up and talking too much and ending up saying nothing about how you will solve the issues facing Kenya, but only narrating stories and recounting events on the podium, is a waste of time. At least Ekuru Aukot had concrete plans when he appeared on stage and out did baba. If voting was based purely on presidential debates Aukot would beat baba 9-1.

NASA will probably have a parallel townhall meeting hatakama jubilee will have paid all the media houses.All said and done that debate snub was a serious miscalculation on Jubilee's part with just weeks to go it it should be about closing arguments not being put on the defensive and attacking characters who have zero impact like ageyo and linus
