Mr Atwoli, Secretary-General of the Central Organization of Trade Unions (Cotu), claimed on Tuesday night that influential politicians mooted a plan to have him removed from the NSSF board because of his tough stance against corruption. Regarding his tenure in the NSSF board, Mr Atwoli noted that he was serving his last term and preparing another union leader to take his place. POLITICSOn politics, Mr Atwoli told Deputy President William Ruto to stop chest-thumping and find good advisers if he wants to keep his 2022 presidential ambition alive. He said that Dr Ruto, though a shrewd and smart politician, is surrounded by deceitful advisers "sending his ambition into oblivion". He said this impression would not have been created had Dr Ruto heeded Mr Kenyatta's advise against early campaigning for focus on development.
