Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa has sacked after daring ODM leader to sack.
In Against 2018, Echesa came out guns blazing claiming that Opposition leader Raila Odinga is organising and planning to remove him from office.
In a video that went viral, CS Echesa alleged that Raila is unhappy with his appointment to the Cabinet.
He claimed that Raila was inciting Luhya leaders and even President Uhuru Kenyatta against him as he was going around telling them that he was an ally of Deputy President William Ruto.
“I want to be very clear with you Raila. I respect you so much but please stop using my name carelessly. I am not your equal. The President was not incapacitated to have me appointed as CS even though he knew there were other qualified Professors,” said Echesa then.
“The President appointed me because I am a child of the poor. He knew that by appointing me, I would uplift another poor kid. The President was not stupid to appoint me. He knew the country had professors but I was still appointed,” Echesa added.
CS Echesa in May 2018 declared himself the senior-most leader in Western region.
