Central Organisation of Trade Unions ( COTU) Secretary-General Francis Atwoli has assured President William Ruto of full support from the Western region.

Speaking at Ekambuli Church of God in Khwisero, Kakamega County on Sunday, November 10, 2024, Atwoli stressed that the western region was fully behind Ruto’s governance.

He opined that the region will help the president actualise his manifesto and expressed that the president should also play his part in helping the citizens get the needed development that benefits them.

Nataka kuambia rais, sisi tutamsaidia lakini ile vita ako nayo ni kubwa, ya kwanza atusaidie kubadidlisha katiba ya Kenya, wakati rais anataka kutuletea mradi wa kusaidia, watu wameenda kortini kusimamisha. Lazima tutamsaidia na atusaidie katika mambo mengi. Turudi katika katiba yetu ya sasa tuangalie vipengele hivyo, kuna vingine ambavyo vitakua tutamshika mkono mpaka miaka mitano ikwishe,” Atwoli said.

He opined that the region is in government and anyone who is not should be arrested as they could potentially be a threat to national security.

He also highlighted that Western leaders such as Cooperatives Cabinet Secretary (CS) Wycliffe Oparanya, Prime CS Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula will help the president fulfil his mandated roles.

Nahakikisha rais ya kwamba hapa western, sasa sisi sote tuko ndani ya serikali, na mtu akiwa nje, we will arrest him. Nilisema mtu akiwa anakaa katika security council ya serikali, ambayo inaangalia usalama wa nchi na anatoka nje, anaongea mambo ya ndani kule, must be arrested, sababu ikitoka nchi hii ni wamama, watoto na wafnyi kazi ndio huumia zaidi and we must have laws to protect them,” he added.
