Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli, on Sunday, October 13, disclosed why he married KTN news anchor Mary Kilobi as his third wife.
Speaking at Bukwala SDA Church where he presided over a funds drive, the 69-year-old trade unionist stated that he was getting old and needed someone that would take care of him.
"I also want someone that can travel with me. Since I'm getting old, I need medicine and someone who can tell me when I have due meetings.
"As you know, the mother of my children my rural home. If I decide that I want to start travelling around with her, I'll find no home. Therefore, I must have someone who manages me and another to take care of my home," he stated.
Atwoli went on to add that most women often turn their attention to their children and grandchildren and forget about their partners.
"These women are so good. However, when they get children and grandchildren, they begin to see them as you and forget about you. You are left on your own. When you get old, you need someone who can give you medicine," he remarked.
Further, he revelaed that Kilobi is a church treasurer and there's no one who can convince her to abandon her faith.
Atwoli urged young people not to get into polygamous relationships because of lust, adding that they would fail terribly.
According to him, a man should only get another wife when the conditions compel him to do so.
"If you must marry another woman, go down on your knees and talk to God. Ask him to forgive you if your desire to get another wife will cause confusion in your family," Atwoli asserted.
