Even former Governor Kivutha Kibwana, amidst congratulating Atwoli on his newborn, threw down the gauntlet: “Should leading COTU be a life sentence?” he dared to ask.Atwoli’s response? A defiant roar! He’s likened himself to the Pope, a position of unwavering commitment, claiming his experience is indispensable for the nation’s workers.
“I’m needed!” he thundered, brushing off retirement whispers like dust.But is this the calm before the storm? Is Atwoli’s long-standing grip finally loosening? The nation holds its breath, waiting to see if this is truly the end of an era, a seismic shift in Kenya’s labor landscape. Stay tuned, because this breaking story is far from over!
