2022 Presidential hopeful Dr Mukhisa Kituyi has for the first time publicly responded to queries regarding a leaked viral video allegedly showing him in a compromising situation.
Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV on Tuesday night, Dr. Kituyi brushed off the video, noting that he is a man of personal integrity and should be judged based on his track record and plan for the country.
He further noted that he won’t address the video arguing that giving a statement on the same will amount to lowering his standards, and the value of the debate regarding his 2022 presidential ambitions.
On reports that he had previously blamed his political opponents for the video, Dr Kituyi noted that he has never issued a statement or addressed the alleged video with any individual.

“I don’t want to go to lower the debate of my candidature below my neck… The assets I want to bring to this are who is Kituyi? What does he stand for in this country? I will sustain a campaign nationally throughout of dignity and respect even for my opponents.
“…I have not given any such statement to any media outlet or any individual whatsoever,” he said.
In June, a viral video emerged online allegedly showing Dr. Kituyi and a lady in a compromising situation.
The video went viral across the country with a section of netizens calling on the ex-UNCTAD Secretary-general to address the issue, but he chose to stay mum.
