COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to allow him to deal with Deputy President William Ruto.
While speaking in Kisumu on Saturday, the veteran trade unionist told Uhuru not to be afraid of exercising his powers against the DP.
Atwoli claimed that Ruto and his aides had defied the president as they were still engaging in early campaigns despite being asked to stop.
He also urged Uhuru to let him handle Ruto if dealing with him had proven to be an uphill task.
"President Uhuru should not be a coward. He can issue a presidential directive and stop all early campaigns in the country.
"However, if he is afraid of his deputy, he should hand him over to me," stated Atwoli.
The COTU boss explained that the premature campaigns had put the country in an election mood adding that Kenyans were suffering since development had been neglected.
"The money that is being used in these early campaigns is public money! You'll find the police there and government vehicles yet the election date has not been set," he added.
Notably, Atwoli has been attacking the DP in the last few months over his ambitions to succeed President Kenyatta in 2022.
