Johnson Sakaja shows Polycarp Igathe dust at Nairobi gubernatorial debate

by Enock Ndayala

On Monday, July 11, top Nairobi gubernatorial aspirants Johnson Sakaja and Polycarp Igathe engaged in a heated debate at the Nairobi Gubernatorial Debate.

Igathe arrived at the Catholic University of Eastern and Africa (CUEA) main campus, Nairobi, on the evening of Monday, July 11, flanked by leading Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition party leaders.

It was feared the self-styled super senator would not show up after delaying to arrive at the interview which Igathe started alone.

On Monday, July 11, top Nairobi gubernatorial aspirants Johnson Sakaja and Polycarp Igathe engaged in a heated debate, with each candidate selling his agenda to the electorate.

Despite arriving late into the second round of the debate, Sakaja impressed many with his articulate response to the issues affecting Nairobians and what the solutions are.

Notwithstanding the fake degree claim hanging over his head, random social media polls suggest Sakaja outdid Polycarp Igathe by far in the debate.

For instance, out of 4,386 Twitter users polled by journalist-turned-lawyer, David Makali 75 percent said Sakaja was outstanding while 25 held that his bitter rival Polycarp Igathe won the contest.

Below are other random polls from leading media houses that show many Kenyans agreeing Sakaja was the better debater in the gubernatorial debate.

While there was little praise for Igathe from Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalition team, Sakaja received overwhelming praise from Kenya Kwanza Alliance-allied politicians and supporters.

“Brilliant. Well done. It is over. Go and do well to Nairobians,” Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen said in a tweet.

“Swear in Johnson Sakaja as Governor of Nairobi. Very coherent, sharp in mind, and Brilliant… Nairobi can trust Johnson Sakaja to be governor than Polycarp Igathe who is the Deep State candidate,” another user said.

“It was so obvious; Igathe was just mumbling and eating words… Sakaja is very knowledgeable and knows Nairobi and all the details. The guy was composed. I think Igathe thought he had tossed him off balance by chiding him with a degree,” another user said.
