Central Organization of Trade Unions Secretary General Francis Atwoli has been appointed a member of the Social Health Authority.
In a gazette notice dated November 22, Health CS Susan Nakhumicha appointed Atwoli to serve for three years.
Nakhumicha said the COTU boss will start his role effective November 22.
Others who were appointed include Dr Zakayo Kariuki Gichuki and Jacinta Kathamu Mutegi.
"In exercise of the powers conferred by section 7 (1) of the Social Health Insurance Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Health appoints-under paragraph (e)- Zakayo Kariuki Gichuki (Dr.), Under paragraph (h) (ii) Jacinta Kathamu Mutegi, under paragraph (h) (iv)- Francis Atwoli as members of the Social Health Authority, for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 22nd November, 2023," the statement read.
The appointment is a new feature to Atwoli's cap in his chequered career spanning several decades.
The Cotu boss is also the General Secretary of the Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union (KPAWU) and was recently re-elected as President of the Organization of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU).
He was elected to serve in the role for a third straight term.

Atwoli also serves workers as a titular member of the International Labor Organization Governing Body (ILO) and Vice President of the International Trade Union Confederation.
