She said that she felt that she needed to live her life and that is why she opted to vie for a political seat. Rose seems to even insinuate that Atwoli is not sleeping with her and making her lonely and desperate, reasons which were forcing her to look for solace on the political front.
The flashy trade unionist is heard telling her that he will go to any lengths to ensure that Rose relocates from the house including bringing the house down.
Speaking on Citizen TV on Wednesday night, Atwoli accused the wife of prioritizing politics hence his taking in KTN’s Mary Kilobi.
“The reason I asked her not to pursue politics was that I needed somebody to take care of me. Since she joined politics, I married Kilobi so that she attends to me,” he said.
