Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Running mates Rigathi Gachagua and Martha Karua face each other for a deputy presidential debate in Nairobi, with the subject of corruption dominating the meeting.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t have billions,’ says William Ruto’s running mate, while Raila Odinga’s running mate insists ‘the law must apply equally to all.’<\/p>\n

Gachagua is Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate, while Karua is Raila Odinga’s pick for vice president.<\/p>\n

Gachagua was pinned on corruption. Last year, the former aide of President Uhuru Kenyatta was charged with acquiring more than $60m in unexplained circumstances.<\/p>\n

On her part, Karua defended her previous record as a minister, activist, and member of parliament. She said she would execute her roles in accordance with the law, a tacit attack on Ruto who fell out with President Uhuru Kenyatta at the beginning of their second term.<\/p>\n

A debate for presidential candidates is planned for next Tuesday. But William Ruto of the Kenya Kwanza alliance has vowed to keep away from it, accusing the media of bias.<\/p>\n
