There was a moment of fun in Bungoma County when Deputy President William Ruto introduced COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli’s second wife Roselinda Simiyu to the crowd.
Ruto, who was invited by ANC boss Musalia Mudavadi to address the crowd at Posta Grounds, Bungoma County, took time to introduce MPs and political leaders present at their rally, before eventually announcing the presence of Atwoli’s wife Roselinda, sending the crowd into jubilation.
“Niko na mama anaitwa Roselinda ni ni mke wa ule jamaa wa minyororo (Here is the wife to that guy who always carries chains around his neck)” said Ruto amid cheers from the crowd.
“Naitwa Rosalinda Simiyu, na mzee wangu aitwa Francis Atwoli na mimi niko ndani ya Hustler” stated Roselinda before waving at the crowd and paving way for others to be introduced.
The video runs from 49.45 minutes
According to reports, the Cotu boss married Roselinda in 1996 aftertelling her that he was a divorcee. She was 30 at the time and Atwoli was 47. Roselinda bore Atwoli two children.
The trade unionist told Jeff Koinange, on the JKL Show aired on Citizen TV, that he had separated with his wife after she opted to join elective politics against his wishes.
Roselinda ran for Webuye West parliamentary seat and lost in 2017. She is also expected to try her luck in August on Ruto’s UDA party. The estranged second wife said he had no problem with Atwoli marrying another wife but he was not the same man he knew from the start.
