Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) secretary general Francis Atwoli has shared details about his family and wealth.
Speaking during an interview with NTV, Atwoli has revealed that he only has two wives and 17 children.
Although he has declined to quote his exact net worth, the vocal trade unionist says he only has two bank accounts – a savings one and a current one.
He further states that he owns 26 cows, 15 of them in his Western Kenya home and 11 in his Kajiado residence.
In addition, Atwoli has disclosed that he possesses two luxury vehicles – a Mercedes Benz and Toyota Prado.
“I have a Mercedes Benz, I have a Prado, you can go and check from Toyota how I acquired that Prado everything I have, you can,” Atwoli says.
Atwoli, who is rumored to be a multi-millionaire, says he has acquired his fortune through salary in the last 52 years.
In 2017, Atwoli sued politician Cyrus Jirongo for allegedly failing to return Sh100 million he had loaned him.
Atwoli said the former Lugari Member of Parliament had promised to repay in 50 days plus Sh10 million interest.
The two later agreed that Nairobi county government would pay Atwoli the cash since it owed Jirongo Sh250 million.
This is where it becomes…
This is where it becomes murky. Jirongo owes you Sh100 million that Nairobi county ends up paying you? If Jirongo had Sh250 million stashed at Nairobi county that he was owed, why did he have to borrow money from you. corrupt immoral leaders think we’re all gullible and naive. This money laundering and we’ll get you all- eventually. By the way, you had Sh100 million you could hand over to Jirongo just like that? Well, if you didn’t sweat for it it’s no big deal- I guess!!
Ndugu Atwoli: Jamani, una…
Ndugu Atwoli: Jamani, una watoto 17? Huu ni ungwana mwaka wa 2019?
Kila mara ninapotazama Mzee…
Kila mara ninapotazama Mzee Atwoli, kwa hakika, aonekana kana kwamba ana upungufu kwa kitu kinachokaribia kuwa ukosefu wa akili timamu. Kisaikolojia, ni wazi kwamba utu wake una kasoro ya namna, ambayo inayumbayumba ikitafuta kutua mahali fulani. Fikra zake zingali zinaogelea kiujana ujana, kumaanisha hajaamini ngalawa ya ujana ishampita fiu. Tazama alivyojibiringa biringa kwa nyimbo za Lingala wakati wa sherehe za zilipita za Wafanya kazi. Kiburi chake, majivuno yake, na udomo kaya wake ulionekana bayana. Mtazame anavyovaa shanga zinazoonekana ni za dhahabu au shaba. Kujipodoa podoa kwa mavazi ya ujana ujana yamsaidia kufunika fufufu uzee wake wa miaka 75, unaoonekana wazi hasa ukitazama ngozi ya sura yake ilionyanyuka na kuyeyuka huku macho yake yakibondeka bondeka ukadhania ni mamba aliyekosa kitoweo kwa siku kadhaa. Inasemekana gari hilo la Mercedes Benz hubadirisha rangi kulingana na hali ya anga ilivyo kokote aendapo. Kibibi alichokioa, cha miaka 25 na mitano, ni baadhi tu ya ujeuri alionao mkongwe Atwoli. Kuna jambo linalomkanganya mzee Atwoli kiasi cha kujiona kana kwamba amefuka ng’ambo ile nyingine ya waliobarikiwa kuwa na fedha nyingi. Kutaja shilingi millioni mia moja kana kwamba ni hela mbili, wakati wafanya kazi wanayapitia maisha magumu, ni matusi pia kwa Wakenya ambao kujaza kibaba cha unga kwa familia zao ni changamoto si haba. Kujihusisha kwake na mmoja wa mwizi stadi aliyeipora mkoba wa umma kwa kuziporomosha mashirka ya serikali ni matusi kwa Wakenya wahangaikao miaka 35 na mitano kupitia jabazi hili lililofirisika, Cyrus Jirongo. Wakati utampata Mkongwe Atwoli siku sijazo, na hukumu itakayompata kwa kulipwa na Kaunti ya Nairobi kiasi cha pesa za kibinafsi kati yake na Jirongo, kitaishangaza hata familia yake. Ni kheri akimye kuongea juu ya alichonacho, kwani hakitumii kuboresha hali ya maisha ya wafanyakazi anaowatetea wala Waluhya ambao wamebanwa na umaskini tangu Kenya ilipojinyakulia uhuru.
@Imara…and those are the…
@Imara…and those are the ones accounted for! Lord knows how many are out there from the one night standers! That aside, I think it’s quite obscene to brag about one’s wealth. Si ungwana kabisa. Sonko has opened the flood gates for this kind of obscenity
How sure are you that they…
How sure are you that they are all yours? Yes its assumed that the husband is the father of the kids,but they way you were yelling and cursing at your wife afew months ago could drive her in to the arms of the SHAMBA BOY.
I hope that you are giving all the seventeen agood balanced life and attention.
WOw you have been working for 52 years, when are you retiring to spend more time with your kids ,grand kids,and ofcourse your wives,and mistresses?
SHENZI KABISA

Ndugu yangu @Maxiley: Umemtupia ndugu yetu Atwoli makombora (missiles) makali sana ya maneno. Kama ulivyosema, huenda ikawa watu wengine wamemsaidia kuzaa hao watoto 17. Binafsi, ningependa kumshauri aende kwa wataalamu wa DNA kama anataka kujua kwa uhakika kwamba watoto hao wote ni wake! Huenda watoto wengine ni wa mfanyakazi wa shamba.
