Africa-Press – Kenya. The Central Organization of Trade Union (COTU) congratulated President William Ruto and his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua following their inauguration on Tuesday.
In a statement on Wednesday, COTU secretary general Francis Atwoli said that the Union supported Ruto’s call for unity and reconciliation.
“As workers, we support the President’s call for unity and reconciliation as we hope and trust and call upon other Kenyans to have hands on deck,” Atwoli said.
He said that it is time to start working as the campaign period had come to a close.
“At such times it is wise to remember that Kenya is bigger than all of us, especially those who were involved in the political campaigns and bickering,” he said.
Atwoli said that when Kenyans fail to move in one direction, workers, women and children suffer.
He added that Kenyans should take seriously Ruto’s speech during his inauguration because it gave hope.
“It has been our tradition to work with the government of the day which provides an environment where workers, through COTU employers through (FKE) and the government through the ministry of Labour, work in tripartite structure,” he said.
He assured Kenyans that the Union remains ready to work with Ruto to promote unity, rights and welfare of Kenyan workers.
