COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has stated that he no longer has a relationship with his estranged wife Roselinda Simiyu. 

This comes hours after Roselinda Simiyu joined Deputy President William Ruto's UDA on Friday during his campaign rallies in Western Kenya. 

Atwoli claimed that Roselinda and DP Ruto formed an alliance in 2007. 

"Roselinda was surrended to William Ruto in 2007 in his Eldoret town house. She is no longer on the list of my relatives. Ruto can now add her, FREE OF CHARGE, to his two recently acquired bearded wives to him have three wives from western. Western Kenya is in Azimio," Atwoli said.

DP Ruto, on Friday, January 28, unveiled Roselinda as a new UDA member. 

Addressing the crowd, Roselinda acknowledged that she indeed had a close relationship with Atwoli.

"My name is Roselinda Simiyu. My husband is known as Francis Atwoli. I am inside the hustler movement," she remarked.

At the same time, Musalia Mudavadi insisted that the ANC party remained strong despite the exit of a huge chunk of MPs who have joined Raila Odinga's Azimio la Umpja. 

"The ANC party remains strong despite the buyout of a few MPs. The ones that remained are double the strength of those who have been bought by State House/Azimio machinery. We are not moved. I predict that earthquake will deal with the defecting MPs at the right time," Mudavadi stated.
