Nothing captures the essence of Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu), Secretary General Francis Atwoli's being than the headline, 'Atwoli: A political wheeler dealer disguised as a workers defender', which appeared in The Standard on Labour Day.

His expeditious transformation from being rabidly anti-Ruto to Ruto's praise singer par excellence in 2022 is a subject of study.

The number of political gatherings that Atwoli has since graced are a tad too many, viewed against the 'kateni miti' rallying call that he exuberantly used to mock Ruto during the 2022 general election campaigns.  Atwoli's Labour Day speech was an antithesis.

It addressed everything and anything but the reason for that special workers' day.
