Wednesday, August 26, 2026 - COTU boss Francis Atwoli has addressed a leaked audio recording in which he was heard scolding his estranged wife, Roselinda Simiyu.
According to Atwoli, the audio was recorded before the two
parted ways.
Speaking at a function, the veteran trade unionist confirmed
that he chased Roselinda away, accusing her of disrespecting him.
“Alileta kichwa nikafukuza yeye,” Atwoli said.
Atwoli also accused his political detractors of using his
estranged wife to settle political scores, but maintained that he remains
unmoved by the attacks directed at him.
Atwoli and Roselinda parted ways in 2016 after their
marriage broke down over irreconcilable differences.
Roselinda had previously claimed that Atwoli did not
disclose that he was married when they first met in 1996.
“I met Francis in 1996 when I was a chairperson at the Kenya Union of Sugar Plantation Workers.
"He was 47 years old but never told me he was
married; instead, he said he was divorced,” Roselinda claimed in a past
interview.
