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

 COTU Sec-General Francis Atwoli. [Jenipher wachie, Standard]

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.

If you ask UDA followers, they will tell you that before elections, the Secretary-General for Central Organisation of Trade Unions, aka Katibu, should never be admitted to the council of hustlers.
