COTU secretary general Francis Atwoli has responded to the Friday meeting between President Uhuru Kenyatta and NASA leader Raila Odinga at Harambee House offices.
Speaking to a local TV station, Atwoli lauded the two leaders for the bold move that is aimed at uniting the country.
The trade unionist, however, faulted the two leaders for taking too long before holding talks.
He said that if the meeting was held earlier enough, thousands of jobs could have been saved.
"If this meeting had happened as early as September last year soon after the August 8 polls, we would not have lost over 100,000 jobs," Atwoli said
He further called on Jubilee and NASA supporters to accept the reconciliation deal.He said some of them are not happy about the political development
"Their supporters should not come in between them and cause division again.They must remain calm and peaceful and should purpose to foster peace throughout the country. People want peace, people want jobs, tourists want to visit and investors want to invest in a peaceful country," Atwoli said.
He said the programme that Uhuru and Raila have agreed to roll out in the coming days to implement their shared objectives.
He said the issue of electoral justice must be addressed.
