BREAKING NEWS: TV Presidential Debate Suspended

News just in indicates that Kenya’s first TV presidential debate has been put on hold until after moderators and political parties’ nominations are jointly reached upon by Campaign teams.

There was a heated debated among Kenyans online concerning who should moderate the debate after Citizen TV’s Julie Gichuru and NTV’s Linus Kaikai were picked to orchestrate it with a significant section of them favoring veteran journalist and thespian John Sibi Okumu.
