Central Organization of Trade Union (Cotu) secretary general Francis Atwoli slammed politicians who criticised his Luhya spokesperson rally, on grounds that he did not consult anyone.
During the spokesperson unveiling event held at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega, Atwoli broke down how he called, and met almost all Luhya politicians and County chairmen over the researching of the ideal spokesperson.
He said he solicited research services from University of Nairobi (UoN) to carry out the research.
He said he sent letters to former Lugari MP Cyrus Jirongo, Amani National Congress (ANC) party leader Musalia Mudavadi, Bungoma senator Moses Wetangula, Bonny khalwale (Kakamega) among other Luhya leaders, asking them to help in the researching.
Atwoli accused them of double speaking, and wondered why Wetangula, Khalwale, Jirongo, Benjamin Washiali (Mumias East MP) among others did not attend the rally and prove their claims.
"I am a man of words. I consulted every leader before coming up with this rally,'' said Atwoli.
