On October 16, 2019, Francis Atwoli, the Secretary General of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU), shared his thoughts on polygamy in a recent tune.
Atwoli, who is married to two women, advised men interested in taking a second wife to pray to God for guidance and forgiveness before making the decision.
He warned that introducing a second partner into an established family can cause irreversible chaos, emphasizing the need for divine intervention.
Atwoli believes that when women bear children, they often focus their love and attention on the children, leaving their husbands behind.
He has been married to TV personality Mary Kilobi, in addition to his first wife, and has been open about his views on marriage and relationships.
While some may view polygamy as a means of boosting one's ego or providing a backup plan, Atwoli's advice highlights the importance of considering the potential consequences of such a decision.
