He applauded the prevailing gestures of negotiations or alliances bid by leaders across the political divide but further urged that it should be all inclusive.

“In order for the country to remain peaceful and united we should engage each other positively and not appear to be side lining other leaders or else we risk going back to the previous 2007 election scenario”, he said.

Atwoli was speaking to the press when he went to register as a voter in his rural home at Ebukwala pri School Kwishero constituency. He urged voters to register in large numbers a head of march 4th elections.

Atwoli further lauded President Mwai Kibaki statesmanship and development track record during his tenure and urged his would be successor to follow suit.

On the recent formation of a rival trade union-Pesatu to clip the wings of Cotu Atwoli said that the scheme which was hatched by two corrupt government ministers he declined to mention is doomed to fail. He said that some two union officials names with held were the ministers side kicks and one of them was recently bought a house worth staggering millions in the leafy suburbs of Nairobi in obvious circumstances.
