A section of Kenyans online has hit out at the Central Organisation of Trade Unions Secretary-General Francis Atwoli.

This is after Atwoli on Friday criticised Amani National Congress leader Musalia Mudavadi for not attending Raila Odinga's controversial swearing in. 

Addressing mourners during the burial of human rights activist Ken Wafula in Likuyani Constituency, Kakamega, the vocal unionist vowed never to support Mudavadi again. 

He further dropped the ANC chief as the Luhya community spokesman after endorsing him in December 2016.

However, according to Mudavadi's supporters who took to Twitter, they told Atwoli under #SomeoneTellAtwoli to stop attacking the NASA principal. 

Some users said the SG was a heckler while others demanded to know why he also never attended Raila's swearing-in.

Below are some mixed reactions from Twitter users:
