Deputy President William Ruto is not fit to be Kenya’s next President, Central Organization of Trade Unions (Cotu) secretary-general Francis Atwoli says.
Speaking at the burial of Lugari MP Ayub Savula’s daughter, Joanne Chiri in Kakamega County, Atwoli says there is no way Ruto will be Kenya’s 5th President.
“The DP is not the right leader for Kenya. He hates others,” says Atwoli.
He adds: “Ruto will never lead Kenya. We shall have a President in 2022, but it will not be William Ruto.”
“I visited him (Ruto) together with my wife at The Hague and gave him my rosary and wished him well while he was facing charges at the ICC but decided to fight me when he became DP, he is not the suitable person to succeed President Uhuru.”
Atwoli further says there is a need for a referendum to introduce changes to the Constitution, which he says will bring stability in the country.
“We must change the Constitution for the sake of stability of the nation. We’re not relenting on this. We want peace,” notes Atwoli who was accompanied by Amani National Congress (ANC) leader Musalia Mudavadi.
On his part, Mudavadi has called for changes to the Constitution and reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
“We cannot have a referee (IEBC) that is cheering the teams in the field,” he says.
He has also hit out at Members of Parliament who are trooping to DP Ruto’s camp with the excuse of getting development for their people.
“You cannot be elected by the people and continue begging from others. It’s MPs who approve the budget. Why can’t they push for development through the budget-making process?”
Franco Atwoli the CRITE at…
Franco Atwoli the CRITE at his best. Ok Franco, do NOT let Ruto be Uhuru’s running mate for 3rd term you were wishing Uhuru for.
William Ruto has the right…
William Ruto has the right qualifications to be. Kikuyu and Kalenjin president.
He will be supported by the 11 Envoys who supported electoral fraud in 2017.
Kikuyus and Kalenjin like their leaders to be corrupt to the core.
As usual he will not get any support from areas that boycotted the second election in 2017.
Atwoli, that is hate speech,…
Atwoli, that is hate speech, you need to sued by DP for tarnishing his name, also you need to retire yourself, you have been on that seat forever
Mtu wa kwanza ambaye yafaa…
Mtu wa kwanza ambaye yafaa aondolewe kazini mara moja ni mKRISTO WAFULA CHEBUKATI. Kwa nini? Tapeli huyu ndiye aliyewaruhusu watu wasiofaa kugombea kiti chochote cha bunge kupigiwa kura.
K.K.T. = KIVUTHA KIBWANA TOSHA 2022
Atwoli’s rationale sounds…
Atwoli’s rationale sounds like personal vendetta and cheapens his opposition against DP. Talk about tangible things that DP lacks to be the president and we will add to the list. And then point the finger to yourself and the seat you occupy,because its like mugabeism of the trade unions.
