Dr Kibaki (Former President) answers only one question from UON 'dunder heads'

“That will be answered by your professors,” that was former President Kibaki’s answer for a barrage of  ‘daft’ and ‘inarticulate’ questions from students of the University of Nairobi. The students humiliated guests and their lecturers – who included VC George Magoha – at a public lecture on December 2 whose keynote speaker was the former Head of State. Lecturers and students from other universities, who attended the lecture at Taifa Hall, said they were shocked by the quality of questions students of UoN asked the senior citizen. Although economist Kibaki – with a honorary doctorate from Makerere University – is known to be laid-back, he is said to appreciate intellectual debates. Campus Vibe correspondent said most of those who criticised UoN students’ questions felt they were ‘irrelevant’, ‘Wikipedia-kind-of-stuff’ or ‘just stupid’. The retired president was not amused by most questions which were read by the emcee, Jeff Koinange. The only response Kibaki had for a Twitter-generated question from a Kamau, who wanted to know what the former President did in his youth, was: “That is faulty logic. Why want to think of the past?”
“Were those university students or lower primary kids?” asked Stephen Macharia, a journalism student from Moi University. However, Chairman of SONU Zack Kinuthia said Kibaki dodged questions. “The president refused to engage the young scholars. My bright army decided to ignore him,” he said. David Oyola, UoN’s chairman of political science students said, “Most of those who asked questions were first years and a few imposters,” Oyola said.-standardmedia.co.ke
