Rashid Echesa has been ousted as the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and Heritage with Amb Amina Mohamed taking over following Friday’s cabinet reshuffle.
Echesa, appointed when President Kenyatta was re-elected last year has been continually under fire at the ministry with various corruption scandals sprouting and national teams constantly complaining of being under-funded.
Amina is hugely remembered for aiding Kenya’s diplomatic mission during her tenure as Foreign Affairs CS to have the country reinstated to the Olympic Games in 2016 after a near axe due to anti-doping issues with the World Anti-Doping Agency.–
