Tuesday, September 24, 2024 - COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has urged President William Ruto to order the arrest of his Deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, calling him a nuisance to the country.
Commenting on Monday about Gachagua's impending impeachment, Atwoli suggested that the position of Deputy President should be changed from a running mate to an appointee of the President.
The long-serving trade unionists
argued that the country would have less drama with the deputy being an
appointee.
"I said earlier that the position of deputy president must remain of appointment, being appointed by the president.
"And we know this sarcasm here. The deputy president should be an
appointee of the president, not a running mate. Because when he becomes a
running mate, he thinks he's also a president," Atwoli said.
Atwoli suggested that Gachagua
should be arrested for publicly opposing the Kenya Kwanza government agenda.
"He must be arrested. If it were our KANU government, we would have arrested him in the morning.
" You can't
contradict government policies, contradict your own president, contradict
everything," Atwoli said.
