Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 37177, member: 636"] Francis Atwoli and Hanifa Adan argued online after her newspaper article questioned old leaders. The union head attacked her views, claiming she lacked standing to speak. He defended his group, saying most staff members are under the age of 40. Hanifa wrote that youth cannot lead because people like Atwoli stay too long in power. The Cotu board just approved keeping him as leader, though he had served for over twenty years already. Atwoli said Hanifa spent money wrong from funds meant for June protest victims. She answered with account papers showing how she used thirty million shillings donated to help hurt protesters. The labor chief said youth have chances to serve throughout his group. He added that the top job need not go to someone young for youth to have influence. Both traded sharp words without backing down from their positions. [/QUOTE]
