Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) boss Francis Atwoli has congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, terming it a huge moment for the United States and the world.
In a statement on Thursday, November 7, Atwoli extended his well-wishes to Trump as the 47th President of the United States, saying it was a victory for stability globally.
"We thank God for saving and protecting Trump to lead America at such a critical time," Atwoli said during his address.
He indicated that Kenya, being a God-fearing nation, hopes the kind of leadership Trump brings forth will inspire a sense of order in the face of what he termed the rise of "ungodly leaders" across the globe.
He expressed concerns that such leaders have brought in ungodly policies that have affected not only their nations but also influence global affairs.
The COTU Secretary-General underscored the need for firm and God-fearing leadership in these hard times.

"As Kenyan workers, it remains our hope and trust that President Trump will usher in the much-needed sanity considering the rise of ungodly leaders with ungodly public policies," Atwoli said.
Atwoli also described the election of Trump as a fresh opportunity for decisive leadership at the global level.
"The election of President Trump is not only a win for stability at the global stage but also fresh air of sanity and action-oriented leadership," he added.
He expressed hope that Trump would work hand in hand with the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations for the progress of welfare and interests of American workers.
"We equally hope and trust that President Trump will appreciate and work with the AFL-CIO to advance the welfare and interests of the American workers whose votes helped him to win," Atwoli said.
Trump won the presidential election on Wednesday, November 6, against his closest challenger, Kamala Harris.
