The Secretary General of the Central Organization Trade Union (COTU), Francis Atwoli, has assured Deputy President William Ruto that even though he made it to the vote box, he will not win the August 9th general elections.
Atwoli stated that Kenyans will not vote for a presidential candidate who will reverse the country’s advances earned during the Jubilee government’s tenure.
The COTU leader argued that if the government was serious, Ruto would be jailed and imprisoned for land grabbing and corruption, a sentence that would have barred him from running in the August 9th elections.
“I was the first to tell Kenyans that William Ruto will not be president and that he will not be on the ballot. If the government followed keenly they would have realized that he grabbed land that belonged to the public and built his own hotel,” Atwoli.
Ruto has already warned skeptics that he will not be on the ballot in August.
“They said I wouldn’t be on the ballot, but today I was cleared and placed on the ballot paper.” “Today is a historic day because it demonstrates that anyone in this country has the potential to become President,” Ruto told an ecstatic throng.
The UDA presidential candidate, a frontrunner in the campaign to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta and a supporter of his archrival Raila Odinga, vowed to continue his mission to empower people at the bottom of the pyramid.
