'Usiume Mkono Ambao Ulikulisha!' COTU Boss Francis Atwoli Tells Off Mudavadi

'Usiume Mkono Ambao Ulikulisha!' COTU Boss Francis Atwoli Tells Off Mudavadi

Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has taken a swipe at Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi terming him as ungrateful.

Atwoli castigated the ANC boss over his constant criticisms of President Uhuru Kenyatta, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga and himself.

The outspoken COTU boss argued that President Kenyatta and Odinga had greatly contributed to creating a name for Mudavadi, but instead of showing gratitude he (Atwoli) was now insulting them.

“Yeye nimemsaidia sana. Kwangu amekula sana na kwake ata sijakunywa kikombe ya chai,” Atwoli said during an Azimio la Umoja campaigns at Khwisero in Kakamega County on Tuesday.

“Huwezi kutukana mkono iliyokulisha wewe, huwezi! Ata kama wewe uko na akili ya namna gani. Mimi naona anasimama na katumbo.”

Atwoli pointed out that Mudavadi has continuously been disrespectful to President Kenyatta despite the Head of State heavily aiding during his late mother’s burial.

“Raila Odinga, Uhuru Kenyatta walisaidia kuzindikisha mama yake na yeye anasimama kwa platform na kutusi Rais Kenyatta. Hio sio tabia ya Waluhya," Atwoli said.

Atwoli called on residents not to elect leaders who were out to deceive them, accusing Mudavadi of engaging in the same by joining the Deputy President William Ruto-led Kenya Kwanza team which he said stands for everything he (Mudavadi) himself has long advocated against.

“Miaka yake yote anasimama na kusema tutengeneze uchumi, uchumi imeharibika. Sasa wale waliharibu uchumi ndio yeye anatembea na wao. Sasa ni uchumi gani anatengeneza? Amepotea," he noted.

At the same time, Atwoli implored residents to rally their support behind Odinga and his Azimio la Umoja movement camp in the August polls.

“Mimi nasema leo hapa Khwisero, hii jua tulipatiwa bure, kama hajakula kwa hii mkono achaguliwe, na kama amekula kwa hii mikono yangu asiwe kitu chochote kwa hii Kenya,” Atwoli said.
