Central Organisation of Trade Unions in Kenya (COTU-K) Secretary General Francis Atwoli on Wednesday, May 7, lashed out at journalist and activist Hanifa Adan over her column in the Daily Nation, where she criticised the state of Kenya's leadership.
Through a strongly worded statement, Atwoli hit out at Hanifa, describing her as a "Super-Young-Con-Woman." "Hanifa should be the last person lecturing anyone on leadership or the occupation of leadership positions, given her track record that is riddled with integrity concerns," Atwoli charged.
Atwoli, while questioning Hanifa's integrity, accused her of pocketing millions of shillings raised by Kenyans to cater for youths injured or killed at the height of the Gen Z-led June-July protests in 2024.
