Second Kenyan Presidential Debate:Who Scored the Highest Marks and who Scored the Lowest.

Following Monday’s fireworks during the second Presidential debate at Brookhouse International School, we at The Kenyan DAILY POST went ahead to interview a number of Kenyans and experienced political pundits, on who scored the highest marks and who scored the lowest.

Here is a detailed analysis on how the 8 Presidential candidates performed

Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta: The Jubilee Presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta performed excellent during the debate. Though he had earlier indicated that he will not attend the debate due to biasness, Uhuru dealt with the economic and land question well. His perfection of the Queen’s English made him the overall winner of the debate. Uhuru was composed and settled. Pundits said he “took the bull by the horns”

Raila Amolo Odinga: Although Prime Minister Raila Odinga trailed in the first debate, he came out well in the second and final debate. His explanation on scandals affecting his office was convincing. He also explained the molasses question with articulacy. The PM was composed and calm.

Peter Kenneth: The Eagle alliance Presidential candidate emerged third. His eloquence and openness on scandals affecting him made him tick. Pundits said he had rehearsed too much for the debate.

Martha Karua:  Martha Karua was the only lady in the Presidential debate. She was too eloquent for the debate. At some time she exposed her anger and this made her loose marks.

Musalia Mudavadi: He also performed well, but on the Goldenberg and Cemetery Scandals, he left so many questions answered.

Prof James Ole Kiyiapi: He had rehearsed too much for the debate. His articulate on issues were too theoretical than practical. Pundits said he never thought before asking questions.

Mohammed Dida: Although he represented the voice of ordinary Kenyans, his arguments on the debate were to shallow to convince Kenyans about his Presidency.

Paul Muite: Pundits said Muite performed poorly. He was not composed for the debate. He had crammed for the debate and his arguments were not convincing.
