Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU-K) secretary general Francis Atwoli has dismissed reports on social media reports that he is stepping down from his role
In a statement, Atwoli termed the reports as lies.
On Tuesday UDA Digital Strategist Dennis Itumbi, claimed that Atwoli had convened a meeting to announce his exit from the labour union.
While dismissing the claims, the leader confirmed that COTU had convened a meeting today, but it has nothing to do with his purported exit.
Atwoli said COTU members are meeting to fundraise for one of their own who passed on recently.
“This is a sad moment for us following the death of Bro. Isiah Kubai who was the GS of BIFU. We have called for a meeting to conduct a fundraiser in preparation for the burial on Friday in Meru. Because you come from those sides you should join us instead of peddling lies,” Atwoli said.
“Further, matters COTU (K) leadership is a COTU (K) constitutional issue and not an Atwoli issue. As of now, I am in office serving my last term,” Atwoli added.
Atwoli has been a fierce critic of President -Elect William Ruto and even vowed at one time that Ruto would not be at the ballot
