The Media Owners Association, the Media Council of Kenya, and the Kenya Editors' Guild jointly operate the Presidential Debates Secretariat. In the past ten years, in 2013 and 2017, the Secretariat has organized Presidential Debates in election years. Presidential debate viewers are anticipated to number over 40 million, according to Clifford Machoka, head of the Presidential Debates Secretariat. More than 450 radio and television stations, including online ones, will webcast the debate.

The debates have evolved into a forum for the clarification of priorities, governmental policies, concepts, and other vital aspects of Kenyans' growth. The public has the opportunity to listen to the candidates during these discussions and gain a sense of their potential objectives if they win the election. They encourage issue-based elections in this way, give candidates a chance to communicate, discuss, and participate, and help Kenyans make educated judgments. In a statement issued earlier in June, the secretariat made a note.

The foundation of democracy in any culture or political system is debate. It is an essential component of freedom of speech, which is in turn acknowledged on a global scale as a fundamental human right. We only need to consider the alternative to understand the value of discussion.

If you utilize debates to ask questions to clarify any ambiguity or contradiction in the information or solution that is being offered and to search for innovative solutions, you will be able to build critical thinking skills. Gaining information that is vast and multifaceted and crosses several disciplines in addition to the Citizen's regular published research. Boosting Citizens' self-worth, composure, and assurance. Offering a fun, energetic, and public-focused experience.

 The Deputy Presidential debate will be held today, Tuesday, July 19th 2022.
