Francis Atwoli on why William Ruto hates him with passion

by Enock Ndayala

COTU boss Francis Atwoli has revealed that Deputy President William Ruto is angry because he stopped him from squandering funds meant for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).

In an interview on NTV on Monday, March 7, Atwoli accused William Ruto of allegedly orchestrating massive looting at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) and carrying a grudge after the firebrand unionist frustrated a similar heist at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). 

“William Ruto is angry because I stopped him from stealing at NSSF. He calls me names when he is in London, telling the whole world that Atwoli is the most stupid person… It is better to be stupid than being known as a thief,” Atwoli said.

The flamboyant unionist further called out the deputy president for disrespect saying he was like a father to him.

Atwoli was responding to remarks by William Ruto who had referred to him as a ‘foolish’ person.

While addressing Kenyans in the United Kingdom, Ruto referred to the trade unionist as a stupid man for moving to court to oppose proposed reviews made by the government on contributions Kenyans make towards NSSF.

The UDA residential flagbearer said  Atwoli’s move to defend the deputy president’s non-payment of KSh 5k from the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) showed his high level of stupidity.

“When we came into office, we had 3.8 million people contributing to NHIF and everybody was contributing KSh 320. So we decided to adjust so that the people who earn more like deputy president can pay up to KSh 5,000,

“So we changed the regulations but we were taken to court by a stupid man called Atwoli…I have no regret to say he is a stupid man because he is a very foolish person,” William Ruto said.
