Central Organisation of Trade Union (Cotu) General Secretary Francis Atwoli has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to sever links with power brokers and politicians who are a liability or risk losing the 2017 elections.

He claimed that the political brokers are a major hindrance to the fight against corruption and asked the president to emulate the working style of founding father Jomo Kenyatta, former presidents Moi and Kibaki for political survival.
