COTU Secretary-General Francis Atwoli on Wednesday said
Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi should compare himself with his sons.
Reacting to a statement that was made by Abdullahi last week
on JKL that he is illiterate, Atwoli said he went to the US to study a Trade
Union course and compared the barrister with his son who is a well-known
doctor.
“He should not compare himself with me. He should compare
himself with my sons. You know very well my elder son is a professor of very
high caliber in medicine…and medicine is a detailed subject.
“You were here when Jubilee Party hired him…can you compare
him with Otiende Amollo? Paul Mwangi? Even my son who did medicine is now an
expert in constitutional affairs,” said Atwoli.
Adding: “I was in the US doing a Trade Union course… Grand
Mullah should not compare himself with me but with my sons…He should keep quiet”.
Last week the lawyer dismissed Atwoli saying he cannot
advice the President on anything because he is barely literate.
"What advice can Atwoli give the President? Atwoli is
barely literate. What advice can he give to a President? Maybe crack
jokes or throw telephones," he stated.
He also cast aspersions over what Atwoli has done for
workers over the years saying he is hell-bent on fighting DP William Ruto.
"He's running around peddling rumours as advice. It is tragic that as a trade unionist rather than helping workers he is fighting politicians like Deputy President William Ruto," added Ahmednasir.
