Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Central Organisation of Trade Union (COTU) secretary general Francis Atwoli has told Azimio leader Raila Odinga his new wave of streets protests will not yield his desired wishes.<\/p>\n

Atwoli, while addressing Labour Day celebrations in Uhuru Gardens on Monday, said Raila will not succeed in ejecting President William Ruto from office using demonstrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting Ruto out of office is a dream. Let us not dwell with an impossibility that will not help the country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The COTU boss further asked the President to appoint Raila to a position which will see him contribute to the development of the country and the continent as a whole. Atwoli, a one-time ally of Raila, advised workers to shun Tuesday\u2019s planned demos called by the Opposition leader.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to ask workers not to go to the demonstrations. You will be sacked by your employers for absconding duty and it will be very difficult to defend someone who did not go to work because they went to maandamano,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Though he has supported Raila over time, Atwoli said he was no longer in a position to advise him now. \u201cSomeone please advise him that the demonstrations will not yield anything. What makes him think that maadamano will change the status quo? There are things that are irreversible and when they happen, you accept it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Atwoli said Ruto floored Raila in the election yet Azimio had all it needed to beat Kenya Kwanza at its disposal to win the poll. \u201cWe had power. We had the money and all resources but Ruto managed to outsmart us,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
