| Updated Thu, July 6th 2017 at 00:00 GMT +3Excited anticipation of a televised presidential debate ahead of the August 8, 2017 General Election has been palpable. Except, perhaps, for presidential aspirant Abduba Dida who had gone to court to stop the debate organised by Debates Media Ltd, a majority of Kenyans, no doubt, feel cheated. The debate was the right forum where, say, President Uhuru Kenyatta would have defended his campaign agenda. In essence, the pressure-cooker situation in a televised debate will reveal the true character of those who seek to lead us away from rumbustious rallies. By all means, a televised debate gives them that chance.
