The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu) has waded into the fresh presidential poll debate and asked those running to accept the proposed date of October 17.
In a statement, Cotu boss Francis Atwoli warned that the ongoing political strife is scaring investors which is likely to end up in job losses ahead of the repeat poll.
The Cotu secretary-general also wants politicians in both Jubilee and Nasa to accept changes made by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Chairman Wafula Chebukati.
He proposed a meeting between the political players and the electoral commission to reach an amicable solution given the short period remaining to the repeat election.
“Cotu is appealing to our political leaders to accept minimum reforms being [made] by IEBC. Our leaders must realise that the country is economically suffering and we can no longer continue putting [it in] anxiety and continued political quarrelling,” said Mr Atwoli.
