Sports CS Rashid Echesa on Saturday  accused Opposition leader Raila Odinga of plotting to remove him from office, saying that he is unhappy with his appointment to the Cabinet. 

“Mheshimiwa rais aliniteua kama waziri akijua ya kwamba anateua huyu mtoto wa maskini, wacha nimuinue naye vile vile atainua mtoto wa maskini mwingine. Lakini ni kama kazi aliyonipa rais inakera mtu mwingine pahali pengine.” 

The visibly angry CS pointed out that the new plot to oust him from office undermines the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and the former premiere.

He alleges that the ODM part leader is taking advantage of  ‘The Handshake’ to intimidate him and other people in Government.

“President Uhuru told us to embrace the handshake and that is exactly what we are doing, but its like somebody somewhere wants now to take advantage of us embracing the handshake to come and intimidate us in the cabinet,” the CS claimed.

The Sports CS  now says that the opposition leader was meeting western leaders accusing him (Echesa) of being a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto hence Uhuru was unhappy with him. He furher dared Raila to sack him.

“Kila mahali Raila anaenda anaita viongozi wa western province anaanza kuwaambia mheshimiwa Uhuru Mwigai Kenyatta hataki Rashid, Rashid ni mtu wa William Ruto. Please Raila, give me a break; I am not your equal!”
