What i found amusing is that Sonko actually held his own despite the obvious contempt from the intellectuals. Infact PK and Muguna would make faces to the audience whenever Sonko referenced some chapter in the constitution or said something intelligent or even referenced his past record in the legislature..
The most dramatic scenario happened when Kidero(in his concluding remarks) foolishly asked the audience who they will vote for and everyone shouted Sonko! Our good dakatri turned red,then green and then blue. Luckily it was a live show and the not-so-bright ageyo or okwara could censor this.
I actually had rated Kidero highly but now i think Sonko has it all figured out and seems capable of running Nairobi
The debate was horrible, there were no issues discussed exhaustively as the time allocated to every respondent was too short, the questions were rather broad and meaningless.
The media was unprepared and did not challenge the respondents to substantiate their very thinly veiled reasoning. No fact checking of responses.
The participants veered off topic and targeted their opponents whenever they could not answer simple questions posed.
Miguna Miguna was actually very well prepared to debate and could articulate his position. The other 3 looked lost and vague with Kidero coming off as the worst of the lot.
This debate told us nothing.
