So why did @UKenyatta pull out of the 2nd and most anticipated Presidential Debate?

The Digital Team, Jubilee Presidential Candidate Uhuru Kenyatta has pulled out of the 2nd and final Presidential Debate expected to take place on coming Monday the 25th February 2013. With Kenyans eagerly awaiting for the second round of the debate to see how their candidates will fare, many have been taken by surprise by this announcement and have expressed their diverse views in the social media some citing "Chickening out".
In a letter addressed to the the Presidential Debate 2013 Organizing Committee and Secretariat by The National Alliance (TNA) party, several reasons for the pull out have been cited including unfair treatment of Uhuru Kenyatta especially on the ICC issue and biasness of the debate moderators. Other issue of concern is the bad time management and the long hours candidates spent standing which left them in unnecessary fatigue.
The letter however ends by the Jubilee Campaign Team quoting their readiness to meet with members of the Presidential Debate Organizing Committee to discuss these concerns and maybe reiterate their stand. Its our high hope that the two teams will come into a consensus.
Here is the TNA Letter to the Presidential Debate 2013 Organizing Committee:
