Francis Atwoli just brutally roasted a retired president's political skills on live television. The trade union boss appeared on a popular talk show to dismiss the idea that Uhuru Kenyatta can successfully push Fred Matiang’i into the State House. Atwoli argued that the ex-commander-in-chief failed miserably to install Raila Odinga despite holding power at the time.
He claimed the previous administration left campaign generals guessing without any clear direction. The veteran labor leader insisted that Uhuru kept key allies in the dark, which caused massive confusion. He warned Matiang’i that relying on such a weak kingmaker guarantees defeat since the guy could not even deliver a ward representative in his home constituency.
Atwoli believes wishing for a successor differs entirely from having the muscle to install one. He shifted gears to discuss the Orange Democratic Movement and rejected claims that the party is dying. The Secretary General feels confident that Oburu Oginga provides steady hands to guide the outfit through its current teething problems.
