Earlier in the day, National Super Alliance (NASA) flag-bearer Raila Odinga had maintained he will only attend the presidential debate if President Uhuru Kenyatta is present.
Raila said it will be useless to participate in a debate that his main rival was not available to defend himself.
On the other hand, TUKO.co.ke learnt that Uhuru canceled scheduled tours to Samburu and Marsabit on Monday, July 24, a clear indication that he could attend the presidential debate and face off with his main challenger, Raila Odinga.

However by 8:30 when the debate kicked off, Uhuru Kenyatta had not shown up and instead Raila Odinga took the podium alone.
It was no doubt a face-off that many Kenyans anticipated considering the profile of the two presidential candidates.

Raila went ahead to enumerate his plan for Kenya should he be elected and handled tough questions from the moderators.
At one point he took a swipe at Uhuru Kenyatta by alleging that he had gone to watch Formula one abroad when one of the country's worst terror attacks struck in 2013.
One of the questions fronted by NTV's Linus Kaikai was if the National Super Alliance had tallying centers in other countries.
"Yes, NASA has a tallying center in Kenya, in Kenya and in the clouds. Some things just exist in people's imaginations. Why do we even need a tallying center in Tanzania. We have a tallying center in Kenya but why should someone fear that unless they want to rig?" said Raila as the audience sniggered in low tones.
