NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta was urged to stop drinking alcohol and “sober up” by a top union official on Sunday. The head of Kenya’s Central Organization of Trade Unions, the umbrella body for the country’s trade unions, Francis Atwoli, made a plea to Kenyatta in a press conference in Nairobi. Even the way he is addressing the public he appears not sober,” Atwoli said. Kenyatta “appeared not to be sober” at the event, said Atwoli who warned Kenyatta that he may lose supporters because of his conduct. “The people around the president will cover up his sickness,” wrote Mwangi, “but one day it might cost this country greatly.”
