Atwoli: Stop spreading propaganda about Nzoia fc bus, you refused to contribute towards its purchase. Mudavadi and Wetangula told.
The war of words between Cotu boss Francis Atwoli and two Western Kenya leaders, Musalia Mudavadi and Moses Wetang’ula, not going away anytime soon as the trade unions boss accused the latter of “spreading propaganda.”
Mr Atwoli, speaking at his Ildamart home in Kajiado, said that it was wrong for Mr Mudavadi and Wetang’ula, to claim that he went to State House last week just to beg for a bus from President Uhuru Kenyatta to Nzoia Football Club.
Last week the Cotu boss, who was accompanied to State House by Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya and Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa, said that he had actually participated in the buying of the bus worth Sh7 million to help the soccer club riddled with financial difficulties.
“Whatever they are peddling is clear misinformation to create a perception that we went to the State House to pick a bus donated by the President,” Mr Atwoli said.
“I want to make it clear that I helped buy that bus alongside Oparanya and Eugene and Mr Mudavadi and Wetang’ula know this. But because we had a meeting with the President on the material day, we felt it wise that he blesses it,” he said.
He claimed that Mr Mudavadi and Mr Wetang’ula had in fact declined to offer their contributions towards acquiring the bus.
Atwoli and Oparanya have been on the receiving end from a section of Luhya leaders for what they termed as antagonistic manouvers towards luhya unity
