COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has said that ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi and his Ford Kenya counterpart Moses Wetangula are no match against Deputy President William Ruto in a presidential race.
All the three leaders have declared their interest in the top seat in the fast-approaching 2022 general elections, where the trade unionist says the DP would badly humiliate the two
Citing the widespread rumour that the DP is corrupt and has amassed a lot of money through his stay in government, Atwoli observed that he would beat the two, who are not as financially muscular as Ruto.
"These two have not stolen any money, they don't have money and if they decide to face off with Ruto, he will beat them by 8 in the morning," he said, in a video shared on YouTube.
Atwoli made the remarks during the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) consultative forum at the Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega on Saturday, also attended by the two.
He suggested that the only sure route to the government for the two is through the BBI, which seeks to amend the constitution.
Atwoli has proposed that it expands the executive to include at least three more seats.
