Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Kenya) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has applauded President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto for ensuring Jubilee Party primaries were free and fair.
Atwoli, while speaking during Labour Day celebrations at Uhuru Park on Monday, said the two had shown leadership by not interfering with party primaries.
“You two did well by switching off your phones and keeping off. Your Excellency, your deputy lost friends including in his neighbouring constituency Turbo where a Luhya carried the day amid a Kalenjin majority. There is no any democracy other than that,” he said.
He said the peaceful primaries are a precursor to peaceful elections come August 8.
