KTN Swahili news anchor left us all shocked when she revealed that she was set to marry COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli.
The TV beauty who is 35years younger that Mr. Atwoli coffessed her love for the secretary General in an exclusive interview with the Standard Group newspaper The Nairobian
In her then interview she added saying that she was an issue for her marrying Atwoli, terming him as one person who do not mind what people say about him.
This relationship was not taken lightly by other people in this case the second wife to Atwoli, Rosalinda Simiyu.
She recently cameout to give her thoughts on the said marriage claiming that Kilobi was the reason as to why Atwoli changed drastically in this case he became cold according to Rosalinda.
In an exclusive interview with Massawe Jappani of Radio Jambo she said, “I am a Bukusu and we believe that ‘Kipenda roho hula nyama mbichi’ (meaning that one does unusual or difficult things to get what they want). If he has fallen for Kilobi that’s his right I will not be the kind of person who tells him ‘you must do this you must do that.’ One thing I would want Atwoli to remember is that we had humble beginnings in Kariobangi that even for him to get the COTU seat I threw my weight behind him.”
Apparently despite all the drama she caused following Atwoli’s marriage to Kilobi, Ms. Rosalinda indicated that she is okay with her husband to marring a much younger wife.
However, she has a problem with Atwoli’s marriage to Kilobi straining his relationship with his family. “The Atwoli I knew back then is not the Atwoli I know now. It’s like he has had a turnover, he has become a new person. A man marrying a younger woman didn’t start now, it’s something that started a long time ago but when you marry the young girl ,she should just be part of the family but you shouldn’t break up your family to bring in a new wife.”
Rosalinda got married to Atwoli at the age of 30 years after meeting him in 1996 when she was a chairperson at the Kenya Union of Sugar Plantation Workers. She recently made headlines after the COTU Sec Gen kicked her out of his Kileleshwa home.
She is the second wife of the COTU Secretary General and Co-wife to Mary Kilobi
