DAILY POST: Don’t oppose your boss, UHURU, on referendum; it is gravy train that will crash you-AtWOLI now tells troubled RUTO to simply resign , 00:18

Tuesday December 25, 2018-Central Organization of Trades Union (COTU) Secretary General, Francis Atwoli, has maintained that the nation is headed to the constitutional reforms and that no one can stop it.

Speaking yesterday, Atwoli noted that the looming referendum has the blessing of the majority of Kenyans, telling off politicians opposed to the proposed constitutional changes. He took issue with Deputy President William Ruto, who has been in the front line in opposing the same, daring him to come out and openly demonstrate his opposition.

He advised Ruto to stop opposing President Uhuru Kenyatta who has also supported the push and resign from his seat like the founding Vice President Oginga Odinga did in 1966.

“If you don’t want it and as a Deputy President, what you can do is what Jaramogi Oginga Odinga did in 1966, you just walk out of Government,” Atwoli stated.

The COTU boss termed the referendum, which is being spearheaded by Opposition Leader, Raila Odinga, as the only remaining remedy for the recurrent post election row menace.

"For us to have peaceful elections we must revisit our Constitution particularly in the area of governance, so that this issue of whoever wins takes it all is rejected by Kenyans,” he added. The Kenyan DAILY POST
