Bado mapambano: COTU boss set to mark 19th Labour Day in office

May 1st 2021 at 12:00:00 GMT +0300 As Kenyans join the rest of the world in marking International Labour Day on Saturday, it will be the 19th time Francis Atwoli will be in the limelight having been at the helm of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) since August 2001. And it appears Kenyans will have to wait much longer for a new face to preside over the occasion and, by extension, lead in championing of workers’ rights in the country. This is after the 71-year-old Atwoli was given a fresh five-year mandate as Cotu Secretary General by its 250 delegates on April 9. The flamboyant Cotu boss retained the seat unopposed during the elections held both virtually and physically at the Tom Mboya Labour College in Kisumu after his only opponent, Seth Panyako, the secretary general of Kenya National Union of Nurses, withdrew from the contest.
