President Uhuru Kenyatta has been told to borrow a leaf from his predecessor Mwai Kibaki on how to handle the opposition.
According to COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli, Uhuru should initiate dialogue with NASA chief Raila Odinga to unlock current political deadlock.
“Political upheavals are hurting this country, women, children and our workers are already feeling the heat. We lost over 100,000 jobs between August and November last year, that doesn’t augur well for our ailing economy,” sais Atwoli during an interview on JKL.
“He is relying too much on opportunists and political brokers for advice, he should engage independent-minded individuals. He is free to call me for advice; we shall tell him what is needed to be done to fix the problems we are going through as a country,” said Atwoli.
Atwoli has been pushing for dialogue between Uhuru and Raila since the disputed 2017 election.
Raila has since gone a head to swear himself in as the 'people's president.
