The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) boss has sensationally pinned the blame for the revocation of his degree on an unnamed, high-placed State officer.Atwoli revealed that the revocation is the reason why Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa was ejected from a Maragoli cultural festival.''I was supposed to receive the honorary degree but the Jubilee government issued instructions from above that that should not happen,'' Atwoli sensationally claimed yesterday in Kitale.Masinde Muliro University was scheduled to honour the COTU boss but that honour was shelved in the 11th hour allegedly after political pressure was brought to bear.The University has strongly rejected any claims that it buckled under any political pressure.
