Mixed reactions after Atwoli throws expensive phone on live TV

COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli on Wednesday night stunned many when he threw away his phone during a live TV show.

Appearing on JKL live, Atwoli seemed to have received a phone call in the middle of the interview and to avoid distraction, he threw it away.

We are not in a position to confirm the phone he was using but based on his love for expensive things, the gadget must be worth hundreds of thousands.

Online, some bashed him for arrogance saying most of the workers he represents can barely afford three meals in a day yet he can go around throwing his phone during an interview.

The stunt drew a number of reactions online and below we have sampled a few:

That level of arrogance????
