COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli yesterday met President William Ruto a few days after giving signals of working with the Kenya Kwanza government.
Atwoli was in Raila Odinga’s Azimio la Umoja camp in the run-up to the August 9 general election.

Others who accompanied him are Prime cabinet secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Kakamega Senator Bonny Khalwale, former Kakamega gubernatorial candidate Cleophas Malala and Rashid Echesa, among others.
