HERE ARE ECHESA’S WORDS ON HIS ACHIEVEMENTS
When I took over, we had no football stadium worth its name. I made it my first priority to explore ways of improving the existing facilities.
We now have Kasarani, Nyayo (in Nairobi), and Kinoru (in Meru) as some of the pitches that can host international matches.
The qualification of Harambee Stars for the 2019 African Cup of Nations after 15 years is another of my achievements.
In athletics, Kenya topped the medal table at the 2018 World Youth Championship in Finland — and my ministry helped secure the rights to host the event next year.
Then there was the initiative to return the Safari Rally to the World Rally Championships. Similarly, I tried my best to bring sanity into amateur boxing.
When I came in, the sport was a war zone, literally. I arbitrated and it’s only a matter of time before they hold unified elections.
The same was the case in cricket where I did my best to bring the parties together. I did all this despite sports being one of the most underfunded sectors.
