Atwoli will serve in the position for a term of three years and is expected to fly to Australia for his acceptance speech.

COTU deputy secretary-general Benson Okwaro in a statement said Atwoli was voted by delegates during Friday’s elections.

The delegates cited Atwoli’s dedication and years of selfless service as the key attributes towards the chairing and management of the funds.

They said Atwoli was the favorite candidate for the position since he is the longest-serving member of the International Labor Organization (ILO), which coordinates Africa and Asia workers.

The sole role of the Global Workers Awareness Fund is to create awareness on social, economic, and political issues.

In June, Atwoli was re-elected for the fourth time as a member of the International Labor Organization (ILO) governing body in Geneva, Switzerland. He was among the candidates that received the highest number of votes globally.

The ILO is a United Nations agency devoted to promoting social justice and internationally recognized human and labor rights.

    You too @loise is terribly blind because you ain’t married to Atwoli to keep up his with his performance activities - on both sides, that is at hone and at work!

    You are just making a sweeping statement because you are jealous and you wish Atwoli could Mount on your ass! It will not happen though!

    You can have many imaginary jobs.

    There is no limit in getting a job in imaginary institutions.

    Maybe the man has old-timers.
