COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli has publicly criticized Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka for allegedly defending Kenyans who are misbehaving abroad. Atwoli questioned Musyoka's stance, especially given Musyoka's past role as Minister of Foreign Affairs, accusing him of ignoring diplomatic protocols.

• Atwoli condemned Kenyans who travel abroad with "ulterior motives" and then blame the Kenyan government when they face legal consequences.
• He revealed receiving distress calls over the past six months concerning Kenyans apprehended for exporting activism.
• The COTU boss advised Kenyans abroad to register with Kenyan Embassies, High Commissions, Consulates, and Permanent Missions for protection and assistance.
• Atwoli emphasized that the trade union will only support law-abiding Kenyan workers in foreign nations.
