However, the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) on Sunday decided to host its first public debate ward aspirants in Juja, an initiative the church said was inspired by the need to inform voters on why they should elect the most suitable leaders who will help hasten development in the area. "We felt time is ripe for the church to participate in helping voters make the right choices by hosting such a forum. "Here, Kalimoni Ward residents got a chance to listen to the aspirants and ask questions which I believe will assist them to make informed judgements," said Mr Mutonga. MORE DEBATESAfter the successful debate, the church said it will consider making the debates a regular event that will involve aspirants for all seats in the near future. Similar debates organized by professionals have been taking place in Gatundu North Constituency where MP and MCA aspirants have been sharing their manifestos with the people.
