Former sports minister Richard Echesa may be the unluckiest person in recent times if we were to go by the comments doing round the media. His exit was so unfortunate that until now he is yet to receive an official statement as to why he was dismissed from the executive.
Though a staunch ally of Deputy President William Ruto who played a significant role in Jubilee campaigns in Western Kenya, the former ODM youth leader’s academic credentials were put into question.
In his CV, which he submitted to the National Assembly Committee on Appointments, the sacked CS did not reveal the schools he attended.
Echesa is said to be a class 7 droupout who never pursued education beyond that.
In making Rashid Echesa a Cabinet Minister, our Government sank to its lowest. It picked the most unqualified person to be a Minister anywhere in the World. In appointing him, our Gov’t showed short term atavistic political goals triumphed inspiration or hope #CabinetReshuffle— Donald B Kipkorir (@DonaldBKipkorir) March 1, 2019
Echesa was serving the DP n not the government, he wasn’t clever enough to employ private teachers n advisors to change him intellectual— Gyptian (@mikeweere) March 2, 2019
How was Echesa allowed to serve without education?
