Echesa’s last dance before ‘kamata kamata’ Friday caught up with him

The axed Sports CS Rashid Echesa had a moment of last dance before falling a victim of ‘kamata Kamata’ Friday. Which means he has to spend the entire weekend behind bars.

Rashid Echesa was among the few political leaders who witnessed Boni Khalwale ditching Ford Kenya to join Jubilee Party.

His arrest came immediately after leaving the meeting which The Deputy President William Ruto was in attendance.

Echesa was taken to the Kakamega Central Police Station and is reportedly being interrogated over the recent Matungu killings that left 12 people dead.

His arrest comes just moments after Kakamega Senator Cleophas Malala was also nabbed.

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are holding Malala at the Kisumu Central Police Station.

At least 30 people were injured in the Matungu attacks that saw Interior CS Fred Matiangi send officers from the General Service Unit (GSU) to Kakamega County.

The area OCS and the AP officers were also transferred to other areas and immediately replaced.

Echesa was sacked on March 1 this year after a short stint at the Sports ministry.

 

His tenure was riddled with scandals which were seen to be what pushed the hand of President Uhuru Kenyatta to remove him from office.

At one time, eight Pakistani women, who were said to have been flown into the country with the assistance of Echesa, were deported.
