Angry Francis Atwoli Smashes His Smartphone On the Floor During Press Briefing

Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) secretary-general Francis Atwoli caused a drama during a press briefing in Nairobi on Monday after he angrily smashed his mobile phone on the floor. Atwoli was speaking about the access of Deputy President William Ruto's Harambee Annex office by suspects in the alleged Sh39 billion fake military equipment tender led by former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa. He accused DP Ruto of blatantly lying to Kenyans that he did not know that Echesa and his accomplices had organized a meeting with two foreigners at his office. "The Deputy President wants to tell us that when Echesa and the white men were at his office for one hour and twenty minutes and no one called to inform him?" a visibly irritated Atwoli posed. "... that is the second highest office on the land... hiyo ni mambo ya wajinga hiyo! shenzi!" he added before throwing his smartphone on the floor. He further claimed that DP Ruto was not telling the truth about the killing of Sergeant Kipyegon Kenei, who was the head of security at his officer. Kenei, 33, was found dead at his house in Imara Daima, Nairobi on the day he was supposed to appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) for grilling over the military equipment tender scam. "Anaenda kudanganya Mzee amefiwa, familia yake kwa matanga," Atwoli said. Here is the video of Atwoli smashing his cellphone on the floor: https://twitter.com/dailynation/status/1236919432196349957
