Atwoli Reacts After Estranged Wife Declares Support for Deputy President William Ruto

Atwoli Reacts After Estranged Wife Declares Support for Deputy President William Ruto

Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) secretary-general Francis Atwoli has reacted after his estranged wife declared support for Deputy President William Ruto.

Ruto officially welcomed Mama Roselinda Simiyu to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party during a rally in Bungoma on Friday.

She was among new members who joined Ruto’s ‘hustler movement’ and vowed to drum up support for the deputy president in the region ahead of the August 9th general elections.

"Mimi naitwa Mama Roselinda Simiyu Mzee wangu anaitwa Francis Atwoli.  Na niko ndani ndani ya hustler movement)," Roselinda said while addressing the rally.

Taking to social media, Atwoli disowned Roselinda, saying she is “no longer on the list of my relatives.”

"Roselinda was surrendered to William Ruto in 2007 in his Eldoret townhouse. She is no longer on the list of my relatives," Atwoli said through Twitter.

He added: "Ruto can now add her, free of charge, to his two recently acquired bearded wives to him have three wives from western. Western Kenya is in Azimio."

Atwoli, a veteran trade unionist, is a fierce critic of Ruto and has maintained the deputy president shall not be elected as Kenya's fifth president. He supports ODM leader Raila Odinga, who is seeking the presidency under the 'Azimio La Umoja' movement.

    Sore loser.

    Aalaaaaaa. Alaaaaa

  3. JoshJan 28, 2022

    These estranged f folks always want to associate themselves with people who don’t want them! Now she is classified as one off the three bearded sisters from Western Kenya!

  4. WaitorJan 29, 2022

    It’s not estranged associations..it’s a matter of when a man full of pride cannot run over a woman or become a sore loser they label the woman as masculine. It’s hard to run over a smart woman hence estranged.

  5. Mr. CollusionJan 29, 2022

    Waitor, boy, you sound so naive or like you are from mars. It’s hard to run over a smart woman hence estranged. Really? How old are you? Let’s revisit this after you get married and are over 40 years

  6. WaitorJan 29, 2022

    Assumption equates to chest thumping among Kenyan man. Iam too old to be in the 40s and married for 17 good years. I don’t know which manner of men trying to control woman I haven’t seen. That time viewing woman as a man property is there to stay among many husbands but hey some women has been revolting like this Atwoli woman, Wambui otieno and men and traditions can’t handle the reality

  7. MsonoBariJan 29, 2022

    If you Married at Age of about 40, then you're about 57
    Wow!!!

  8. Mr. CollisionJan 30, 2022

    MsonoBari😂😂😂😂

  9. NamiotiJan 30, 2022

    That’s why he is stuck in the past like a very old mule! He is just making the last weak kicks hoping his old tired wife will keep hanging with him since he can’t perform! Isn’t the life expectancy in kenya 38 years? Surely he has already outlived his purpose and usefulness!

  10. GaidiJan 28, 2022

    MWAKILISHI is misleading about muuaji Atwoli.The guy is a professional murderer and violent looter not a veteran trade unionist.He killed and cannibalized expired Mukuru Muchai after disagreements on sharing shs 6b TASSIAH HOUSING LOOT.That is why he is supporting muchawi Raila for protection.

  11. Mr. CollisionJan 28, 2022

    Gadi, true. Mwakilishi should have written damn fool ama kama venye @Kenya amesema sore looser. That fits him well unlike his oversized suits and all manner of clothes. Birikimo kinonoo

    Dada Roselinda Simiyu:

    Kabla hujamezwa na mamba, viboko na majoka ambayo yamejaa katika mto ambao tayari wewe umeshatumbukia ndani, nakuomba usikilize kwa makini ujumbe kutoka kwa MP ambaye anamjua Dr. Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto kuliko wewe umjuavyo.

    MP wako ni mwizi mbaya kweli. See here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ecroiSbtOJg

  14. MikeJan 29, 2022

    Si hata wewe Asista ni Mwizi pia? So you want to tell Kenyans that they should turn the other way when the kalenjins led by WSR steal?

  15. AsistaJan 29, 2022

    See, you are becoming a tribalist bigot. Theft is theft. You want to say when the latest theft of Covid donations worth billions was done by a Kalenjin? Or the 2 billion being stolen every day with the approval of the president is ? Or the trillions borrowed to undertake a project cost of a few billions?
    And as a private citizen, the constitution allows you to bring those that you think or know have stolen. Either go to court or stop your shenanigans and shut up.

  16. KipseremJan 29, 2022

    Ruto has been in the center of every theft in kenya - big or small! He is the engineer of all the stealing you have nentioned here! Even the kalenjin kids know Ruto is a thief!

    He has made a bad name for the kalenjin community! He pretends to steal for the community but the proceeds only go to him and Rachel! You must be deeply naive not to know that Ruto is a thief!

  17. AsistaJan 30, 2022

    Please take him to court with your evidence and stop pandering tribal epithets.

  18. JoshJan 29, 2022

    Truth hurts @asista! You kalenjins love to steal because you are lazy!

  19. AsistaJan 30, 2022

    And think stealing is an easy job?Not as you think pal.

  20. ZacJan 30, 2022

    Ruto is a known thief! And those kalenjins who support a thief are worse thieves too! There is no mature kalenjin! They blindly follow eat other like lost goats! No wonder they are blindly following Ruto!!

  21. Ole ShumitiJan 30, 2022

    Is there a tribe in kenya that is more bigoted than the kalenjins? Just listen to old Oscar sudi, Murkomen, and several other crooks from you area! Kenya will go to hell and nder the leadership of WSR,; a cow thief!

  22. AsistaJan 31, 2022

    Sorry pal. Cannot argue with fools.

  23. AsistaJan 31, 2022

    Sorry pal. To this extent, I can’t argue with fools.

  24. MikeJan 29, 2022

    Mwizi ni Yule Yule DP Ruto! Hats madungu sake wanamujua yeye ni Mwizi! Everything Ruto steals is registered under the kalenjin tribe! Na wengine wakale wanakubaliana na Mwizi!

  25. RottenJan 28, 2022

    King of CORRUPTION is attractive to all UGLY

  26. AsistaJan 29, 2022

    When kids are born, one may not know if one is getting a disabled baby, or one that may grow abnormally. When we find ourselves in that situation, little do we expect anyone especially in the grown age of Atwoli to be calling them names. It’s not a choice for a woman to mount up male beard chromosome.
    It’s a shame, disgusting and childish for Atwoli, acclaimed chief adviser to Uhuru and Azimio , a man who claims to stand up for work equal rights to be demeaning people with disabilities. If he is chastising them socially, how then does he treat them at work?
    He should be brought to resign.

  27. WaridJan 29, 2022

    What is worse @Asista, aAtwoli talking about a bearded ex-wife or WSR killing 37 kikuyu women by burning them inside the Kiambaa church in 2007!?

    Recently WSR called Kikuyus in the Rift Valley madoadoa but you as a kalenjin just kept quiet and nodded your head because you helped Ruto killed little children! Is killing women and children the maturity of kalenjins?

    When talking about maturity, the rest of the country have been wondering why all kalenjins are very immature, stupid and thieves and no one in your community helps the other understand that stealing is wrong!

    Atwoli only said he divorced a bearded woman because Ruto likes to marry girlymen with heavy beards - all from the Luhya community!

  28. ChokiJan 30, 2022

    Talking about the 2007 Eldoret massacre, Ruto has continued to support terror activities in Laikipia and lamu. Also he is doing the same in parts of Rift Valley!

    WSR pays all the bandits and terrorists in kenya because he wants the fighting to continue to confuse his ICC cases.

    He is working hand in hand with Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi and Murkomen in Elgeyo Marakwet. Then they will stage a fake group of women wailing to challenge the government of the day! These crooks have caused a lot of damage in kenya!

  29. NamiotiJan 29, 2022

    You are one damn stupid fella, just like your Madoadoa friends! How about you have Arap Mashamba Mwizi to resign since he has done nothing for kenyans!

  30. Go cryptoJan 29, 2022

    Wazee wanaachia vijana mitumba.

  31. MugīkūyūJan 29, 2022

    Hahahahaha, thank you Atwoli.

    Dada Roselinda Simiyu:

    Je umeona vitendo vya ajabu na pia vya kutisha vinavyofanywa na wafuasi na pia mashabiki wa Ndugu yetu Dr. Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto?

    Hebu mwone Ndugu yetu Oscar Sudi anavyofanya! Usisahau ya kwamba, Oscar alidanganya taifa zima kwa kutoa vyeti bandia vya shule ambazo hakumaliza au kuhitimu.

  34. ChokiJan 30, 2022

    WSR is the most corrupt creature in the world! This way of bribing Kenyans will still continue if he is elected president! Ruto is a criminal gangster! Kenyans must not vote for a thief!

  35. Imara DaimaJan 29, 2022

    @ Dada Asista:

    Yote unayosema juu ya Ndugu yetu MP wa Nandi Hills ni ya kweli kabisa. Lililo la msingi dada ni kuwa, anayegombea urais wa kenya 2022 si Ndugu Keter!

  36. ZacJan 30, 2022

    Keter need to be louder about Ruto’s stolen stuff! He needs to give it to Ruto more directly and live! We can’t have a thief for a president! Keter has already made that clear to Ruto! Keter is just speaking the truth to Ruto!

  37. RottenJan 30, 2022

    Atwoli is a real man

    Doesn't have side dishes . Just straight forward about his many females.
