Central Organisation of Trade Unions Francis Atwoli on Muchai's murder

Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has asked the Government to bring to book those behind the murder of Kabete MP George Muchai, who was also his former deputy at the giant trade union.

Atwoli, addressing the Press at the union headquarters yesterday, said it was important that thorough investigations are carried out to reveal who was behind the gruesome murder of the legislator and end speculation, adding that this was the second time the MP was being attacked.
The COTU boss paid a glowing tribute to the deceased legislator, referring to him as a ‘bold man’ and a champion for social justice.  Atwoli and the deceased MP have been at loggerheads in the recent past, and the COTU boss in October last year moved to court seeking compensation for alleged defamation. Atwoli accused the Kabete MP of alleging that he was a medicine man and that he had misappropriated more than Sh7 million COTU funds.
