Atwoli backs Uhuru, says presidency needs experience

COTU secretary general Francis Atwoli has today taken a swipe at politicians pitching for a youthful presidency, fortifying president Uhuru Kenyatta’s sentiments on the expertise required for the country’s top job. Speaking in Kisumu today, Atwoli pointed out the perks of having an experienced politician at the country’s helm drawing examples from the US electing Joe Biden as president at the age of 78. Presidential hopefuls including DP William Ruto and Musalia Mudavadi have been tailoring their campaigns towards the youth, seeking to edge out ODM chief Raila Odinga on the basis of his age.

When Uhuru became president he was a youthful imrxperienced fellow.
Where did he getthat experience.

[kirimititus]

Not every man with grey hair is wise for even atwoli has grey hair.

Atwoli should check in to Mathare hospital at the earliest convenience. Am willing to pay his hospital bill there.

What experience did Uhuru had?He was not even a DP like Ruto. Akwende na huko

[edquest]

What school of presidency did Uhuru go where was he practicing Nonsense.

[eliudmbugua]

Which experience did uhuru have
This is a big joke

[abelnoble]

That was back in time; when old meant wise. In our era when many old men are the kind of Atwoli, I'd rather go with young people with open mind and willingness to catch up. Do you ever hear Raila talking about the present? All he knows is tell tales of the past! Let the old stay with the past, the new time has come.

[antonybundi]

Kwan experience ndo nini na Kenya ni ile ile

[christopherwanjala]

Moi, Obama na Uhuru were elected as president at 45 to 54 years. Wewe Atwoli peleka usienzi wako mbali umezeeka.

[Animalsandwildlife.]

Ruto has more than 9 yrs experience. Raila has zero presidency experience.

[mungufenikili]

Why can't Francis Atwoli also stand for presidency?

[simonwaweru]

Hahaha... which experience did Uhuru had 2013... Uhuru campaigns has always been about young Turks.what have changed now.wajinga waliisha kenya.ruto all the way

[kelvinwafula]

Experience ni ya Nini na atwoli mwenyewe ni ex mathare hospital

[jackmuraguri]

Nobody is stopping Atwoli from electing his old leaders. His ballot his choice. What we do with our ballots is our choice.

[silvanombiti]

Atwori.
RUTO is the most experienced in political field. That's why he don't play losing cards.Was first elected in 1997 and has never been our of government. All the rest have been on and off, thus opposition experience. However Raila has terrible experience of; throwing stones, uprooting railway, demonstrations, overthrowing govt, marrying by every govt and other nonsense.
If it's matter of age, even mad and fools grow old.
