I urge you to read it carefully before rejecting it,\u2019\u2019 said Kenneth.<\/p>\n<p>Atwoli appealed to residents not to reject the president\u2019s initiative that is meant to unite all Kenyans.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019I am confident that BBI will go though. Whoever tells Kenyans to reject it does not mean well for them,\u2019\u2019 said Atwoli.<\/p>\n<p>The secretary general alleged that the DP was working day and night to tarnish the good work done by Uhuru while he is in the same government.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019We will not allow Ruto and his foot soldiers to spoil the good work that has been done by the president,\u201d said Atwoli.<\/p>\n<p>He said those preaching hatred want to bring down the country again and Kenyans should not tolerate them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019We have said it many times that we do not know who will be the next president of Kenya, but we also know who will not be the president,\u2019\u2019 added Atwoli.<\/p>\n<p>Others who attended the ceremony were Kajiado West MP Peris Tobiko, Caleb Hamisi of Saboti and nominated Senator Judy Pareno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AfricaPress-Kenya: Central Organisation of Trade Unions Secretary General Francis Atwoli (pictured) and former Gatanga MP Peter Kenneth have accused Deputy President William Ruto of undermining President Uhuru Kenyatta.
