Come and sack me! Sports CS Rashid Echesa dares Raila

Sports CS Rashid Echesa on Saturday dared ODM leader Raila Odinga to sack him if he, Raila is unhappy with his appointment to the Cabinet.

Echesa’s remarks on Saturday evoked mixed reactions from Kenyans on social media, with a majority of them bashing out the CS for his ‘careless’ words.

“Mheshimiwa rais aliniteua kama waziri akijua ya kwamba anateua huyu mtoto wa maskini, wacha nimuinue naye vile vile atainua mtoto wa maskini mwingine. Lakini ni kama kazi aliyonipa rais inakera mtu mwingine pahali pengine.”

The sports CS pointed out that the new plot to remove him from office undermines the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and the former prime Minister.


The arguably angry CS alleged that the ODM party leader is taking advantage of ‘The Handshake’ to intimidate him and other people in Government.

“President Uhuru told us to embrace the handshake and that is exactly what we are doing, but its like somebody somewhere wants now to take advantage of us embracing the handshake to come and intimidate us in the cabinet,” the CS claimed.

“Kila mahali Raila anaenda anaita viongozi wa western province anaanza kuwaambia mheshimiwa Uhuru Mwigai Kenyatta hataki Rashid, Rashid ni mtu wa William Ruto. Please Raila, give me a break; I am not your equal!” Echesa added.

The Sports CS now says that the opposition leader was meeting western leaders accusing the Sports CS of being a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto hence Uhuru was unhappy with him.

“Kama Raila sasa amekuwa ndiye appointing authority in this country, I want to dare you Tinga wherever you are, come and sack me! Kuja unifute!,” an angry Echesa lashed out.
