Atwoli reveals the source of his wealth.
With a career spanning over five decades, Atwoli has been able to lead a comfortable life and grow his net worth to become among the wealthiest and most influential Kenyans.
In a candid interview on JKLive show with host Jeff Koinange, Francis Atwoli, the Secretary-General of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) in Kenya, opened up about his views on business, government tenders, and commitment to workers’ rights.
Atwoli, known for his vibrant personality and staunch advocacy for employee rights, made it clear that his focus remains solely on the welfare of the workers.
He distanced himself from business engagements and government tenders saying, “I don’t do business. I don’t ask for government tenders. I don’t have any conflicting interests with any employer.”
Atwoli emphasized how his decision to steer clear of business dealings allows him to maintain a close and untainted relationship with workers.
