Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli on Tuesday, January 27, lifted the lid on the reasons behind President William Ruto's 2022 General Elections victory.

While speaking during a presser, Atwoli admitted that Ruto's victory had been accepted within the senior ranks of the opposing Azimio coalition. "In the run-up to the elections when I was saying Ruto will not win, I was trying to energize you.

In my inner thinking the new government had already been formed and as your parent I could not tell you that you are losing," Atwoli stated.  "If you have children in your house you can not tell them there is no food.

It was our work as elders to give you more strength to keep on fighting.
