Flower farm workers in Naivasha have lashed out at Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) Secretary General Francis Atwoli for failing to fight for their rights and better salaries for years.
The workers have threatened to walk out of the giant Kenya Plantations and Agricultural Workers Union (KPAWU) as their plight had been ignored and they were undergoing untold suffering.
Speaking in Naivasha, the workers questioned the Cotu leadership, noting that it was led by people who were over 70 years old and were no longer conversant with their needs.
This comes a day after Atwoli, during Labour Day celebrations, defended the union amid concerns and allegations that Cotu was getting involved in politics.
