Recently, a number of articles have been written by journalists about how Cotu and I have morphed since 2001. I wish to set the record straight and, with a lot of humility, educate the public about the transformation that has taken place in the labour movement.
Since I joined trade unionism in September 1967, I have had the privilege to serve Kenyan workers in different positions before my ascendance to the helm of Cotu in 2001. In my 58 years in trade unionism, I have been a keen observer of the complex and ever-evolving interaction between trade unions and governments.
