Speaking over the weekend during the burial of Tabitha Atiwno, the wife of COTU Deputy Secretary-General, COTU SG Francis Atwoli accused Deputy President William Ruto of trying to create anarchy and chaos to have Kenyans kill each other.
”We will not allow Kenyans to kill each other. All these things you are hearing about Uganda. Security agents should be cautious and check the imports at the Kenya – Uganda border, all containers because some are carrying weapons. Weapons are being brought into the country, and I am prepared to write a statement on that,” Atwoli said.
