We will write, Draw Ruto on the Ballot, KOT tell off Atwoli

A section of Kenyans on Twitter have told off COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli on his remarks against Deputy President Dr William Ruto.

Atwoli who was speaking in Lamu during a COTU fund raiser for Lamu Women’s Sacco said the Ruto’s name will not be on the ballot come 2022.

He said that Kenyans will go to the ballot to elect the President and his Deputy, The Prime Minister and his Deputy, plus other leaders but Ruto’s name will not be there.

He reiterated his remarks by urging Lamu residents to write down his statement and take it to the bank for free.

While reacting to his sentiments, one of the twitter users vowed to write Ruto’s name on the ballot.

Several other netizens attacked Atwoli, telling him to keep off Ruto and put his house in order.

Instead of Atwoli thumbing his chest-up insulting DP Ruto, he should first go and set his house in order! You can't kick your wife & son out of Kileleshwa house, then go and marry another woman to be your wife. Hypocrisy!!! Stop verbal diarrhoea and Learn to be a responsible man.
