Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary-General Francis Atwoli has issued an interesting comment after the former UDA vice-chair resigned to join the Azimoo coalition.
Kipruto Arap Kirwa resigned as the UDA vice chairman on Sunday, May 29, and joined the Azimio coalition and was received by Raila Odinga and Martha Karua in Bungoma county.
According to Atwoli, Kirwa's resignation is just the beginning urging Kenyans to watch the political dynamism in the next two months.
"Kipruto Arap Kirwa is just a beginning just watch political dynamism in two months to come," the COTU SG said.

While announcing his departure from Deputy President William Ruto's UDA, Kirwa said he had to retreat and think when the party announced Rigathi Gachagua as the Kenya Kwanza running mate.
According to Kirwa, that was the clearest indication that there was no democracy within the party.
