COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli / FILECentral Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu-K) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has called on former President Uhuru Kenyatta to support his successor William Ruto, arguing that the current Head of State played a key role in his rise to power. I worked with President Moi, Kibaki and even Uhuru, helping him with union duties. Someone should tell him to help Ruto,” Atwoli said. Uhuru and Ruto governed together for nearly a decade under the Jubilee administration before their alliance fractured towards the end of Uhuru’s second term. Speaking recently, Uhuru urged political leaders to prioritise service, unity and integrity.
