Francis Atwoli's Biography in Summary

Francis Atwoli is a paragon of sensation, charisma, and ebullience who inspires amazement in everyone he meets.
His outspoken personality has earned him both praise and condemnation.

To strangers, his casual, reckless demeanor paints him as arrogant and know-it-all.

Those who benefit from his persistent position, particularly civil workers who have struggled for their rights for decades, regard the trade unionist as a hero, even a light of hope.

During an interview with a local TV station in October 2021, Cotu boss had a burning question for the Mt Kenya region regarding their bet then between Deputy President William Ruto and ODM leader Raila Odinga.

Atwoli's property portfolio

Houses

It goes without saying that Cotu's SG has a number of properties given his great fortune and lucrative wealth.

His multimillion-dollar mansion in Kajiado County

The opulent residence is said to have a helipad and a parking lot with space for up to 100 cars.

It also contains a restaurant and a number of guest rooms that can accommodate up to 300 people at one time.

He owns a multibillion-dollar mansion in Nairobi and another in Nakuru.

Cars

He has a Mercedes Maybach 6 Cabriolet valued Sh60 million.

He also owns a Mercedes Benz S300.

His latest vehicle, according to reports, can change color depending on the weather.

Expensive clothing and jewelry

The colorful trade unionist is known for his unusual taste in fancy clothing, jewelry, and watches.

He wears signature labels and the cheapest watch in his closet, a Frank Muller that costs Sh240,000.

In his defense, Atwoli claims that as a worker's representative, it is only natural for him to dress nicely because he cannot meet with prominent authorities to negotiate compensation increases for employees while dressed as a pauper.

Wives and Real Age

Francis Atwoli, 73, was born in Kakamega County on June 6, 1949.

He is a polygamist by nature, something he has declared publicly and never denied.

He is married to Mary Kilobi, a 36-year-old KTN TV personality.

The Cotu boss says he had a good marriage relationship with his first wife.

The same cannot be said for his estranged second wife, Roselinda Atwoli, with whom he had a bitter divorce that was widely publicized.

Roselinda, who has since joined active politics, recently declared her decision to support Vice President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, bringing the estranged couple's love turned sour relationship into the spotlight.

Education

Little is known about Atwoli's early education, which he avoids discussing at all costs.

Some sources state he attended St Mary's High School in Nairobi, while others claim he attended St Mary's High School in Machakos in 1963.

He received a scholarship to the Cotu Institute of Education in Limuru and the George Mini Labour Centre in Maryland, both in the United States, between 1974 and 1992.

Despite the fact that his early schooling is shrouded in obscurity, his meteoric ascension from working as a technician at the East African Post and Telecommunications to his current position as Cotu's Secretary General was unaffected.
