@ Mc Reggae, as you can see someone else has also confirmed the same thing. The two leading contenders don't want to lose more votes one week to the elections. Akina Kiyapi, PK, Dida, Karua & Muite don't have anything to lose if anything they are the major beneficiaries in the debates.

Very strange, If it was I, I would meet the challenge head on, that is why one is a leader to get out of his/her comport zone for those who a lesser of the human race

and so they were credible at 51 against 44 if thats the case then lets believe the polls that CORD is still in the lead

I gather that UMK has not blatantly rejected the 2nd presidential debate...he intends to use Skype!!

Njumbiree fellows are very interesting.

The land issue is a serious issue especially in swing areas such as the coast.

By not attending, he wins only his diehard supporters who would still vote for him if he walked out of Karumaindo naked at 10am in the morning.

But he loses all the swing voters who will see him as a coward who can't deal with issues.

I'm sure he's getting encouragement from the crazy fellows on this post who are now saying that every TV station in Kenya save K24 is against him. And now the polls are perfect.

Mr. Uhuru will lose credibility even with his own supporters who aren't going to vote 6 piece suits.

All that it needs is a few words from akina Karua like "i'm not afraid to answer questions like others who don't show up for debates"

"if he can't show up for a debate, can he show up for a trial in the Hague"

"when he's high when he's president, will he show up or, will Ruto be ruling"

I mean a few choice statements from his challengers and you can kiss his candidature goodbye.

Personally, I would be very excited to not see his face for a very very long time.

As for Njumbiree fellows a coward is a coward in any language on this earth.
