The moderator for tonight's presidential debate at Bingu International Convention Centre, Grace Malera, is composed.
She is patient, at best.
She is in control of the debate, although indications are that she is letting Atupele Muluzi aim deliberate digs at other presidential aspirants.
Twice, on the issue of agriculture, Atupele has attacked Malawi Congress Party and UTM manifestos, describing Malawi Congress Party's manifesto as "thin" while that of the UTM is "contradictory".
But Atupele, the spoiler, is giving nothing away about his United Democratic Front's manifesto.
After all, the two parties have launched their while Atupele's party has not.
The field is not level. Atupele has an unfair advantage, for he can attack others but others, really, have no chance to critique United Democtaric Front's manifesto.
You do not criticise something you do not know.
In all this, the moderator is trying her best to 'pretend' to be detached from the emotional turmoil that could, probably, be eating through the panelists' hearts slowly but surely.
