She was welcomed to the party by DP Ruto during a rally held on 28th January in Bungoma County.

“My name is Rosalinda Simiyu. My husband is known as Francis Atwoli. I am inside the hustler movement,” she said.
“I beseech Kenyans to stop gambling at political odds. Ruto won’t make it. I am not seeing how,” Atwoli said at a presser on August 8, 2021.
Atwoli is an ardent supporter of Azimio la Umoja under former Premier and ODM leader Raila Odinga.
He says that Raila is al leader with a wealth of experience in economic matters and devolution, thus making him an ideal fifth President of Kenya.
TAtwoli has many children with his three wives, Jenifer Atwoli, Rosalinda Simiyu, and KTN’ journalist Mary Kilobi.
