Francis Atwoli: A smart politician who is always close to the presidents

Paulo Coelho, in the Warrior of the Light writes "Do not be ashamed to make a temporary withdrawal from the field if you see that your enemy is stronger than you; it is not winning or losing a single battle that matters, but how the war ends." Today I argue that Francis Atwoli offers the best example how politics should be conducted in Kenya.

Those who will write Mr Atwoli's biography should state that he is Kenya's president's trade unionist and a consistent political irritant.
