LETTERS:
>>>>>>>>The speech by Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) Secretary-General, Mr Francis Atwoli, at this year’s Labour Day celebrations was too long, rambling and full of political gymnastics, innuendo and sycophancy.
The day was meant to celebrate workers’ rights, not subject people to the torture of a long speech under the hot sun.
I couldn’t believe it when Atwoli decided to fire a salvo at Transport minister, Mr Chirau Ali Mwakwere. By advising President Kibaki to transfer Environment minister Mr John Michuki to the ministry amounted to calling Mwakwere incompetent. Whether this is true or not, there are better ways of presenting such issues.
The days of ‘Baba’ are long gone. It is unfortunate to see that one of the people expected to agitate for workers’ rights is the one showing high levels of sycophancy.
Atwoli has lost track: Perhaps it is time he is replaced at Cotu.
