Turned out to be a very dour evening! Questions were poor, shallow and very weak. I thought we were interrogating candidates on their suitability to do the work of the President, in other words past performance and future plans. I didn't here that. I would have expected the 'computer error' KKV, mahindi scams, Triton oil, Free Primary education funds, Tokyo embassy etc to feature prominently juxtaposed with the corruption discussion. Why do I think we need better interviewers as a start! Julie is not dexterous enough on political matters, she ended up cotton wooling the candidates from questions and pitfalls. It would have been interesting to have Louis Otieno and Sibi Okumu or Hassan of Citizen moderating. I feel we lost an opportunity to interview the candidates. We ended up discussing pedestrian topics and in a very cavalier manner. Surely why spend so much time on ICC and tribalism. These topics are every day fodder in the society and they will run their natural courses to the end, no point spending too much time on them.

Not looking forward to Ageyo and Udwok in the next interview they are certainly to be a humdrum pair for this type of work. The amount of flip flopping by the pair of key candidates yesterday was appalling!
