The DP, however, said that he quizzed the media on coverage where he claimed that they had given 65 percent of coverage to his main competitor, leaving him with only 35 percent.

Ruto wondered what the problem was if the media could be fair in news coverage.

“Nawauliza ndugu zangu watu wa media kuna ugumu gani tukiwa na usawa? Na kama media wanasema wako free, fair and independent, ni nini inawazuia ama ni nini inawafanya wakawa unfair to our side? The DP posed.

The DP, however, said that they are looking forward to making the decision on attending the debate, and hopefully it will be to attend it.

He said the communication would be made as soon as possible.
