Sunday, April 28, 2024 - Central Organisation of Trade Union (COTU) Secretary General, Francis Atwoli, has said former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka is the best person to succeed former Prime Minister Raila Odinga as Azimio One Kenya Alliance leader.
Raila,79,
is expected to resign as Azimio One Kenya Alliance supremo once he wins the
African Union Chairperson contest.
Speaking on Sunday, Atwoli said
the opposition does not have to look any further, should Raila become the
African Union's top sheriff.
The veteran trade
unionist insisted that Kalonzo is a respected leader with good moral
standing.
"Those of you remaining in
Azimio will not hold another meeting to pick a leader. You already have a
leader, a senior counsel, a lawyer of integrity, a diplomat in the name of
Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka," Atwoli said.
The Cotu boss said that Kalonzo is
the leader who will bring together the government and the opposition for Kenya
to move in one direction.
He said that the former vice
president has done it before in other countries on behalf of Kenya.
"I know he will narrow the
gap between government and the opposition politics because he has done it in
Sudan and many other African countries on behalf of our Kenyan
government," he said.
