“Deputy President why you not protecting your allies under the chop” ~Rashid Echesa

The former CS for Sports and Culture Rashid Echesa has come out and attacked the Deputy President for not protecting his allies, sacked from Senate and National Assembly committees.

Rashid Echesa lashed out at the DP for his silence after Tuesday’s sacking of Mumias East MP Benjamin Washiali as the Majority Whip.

“I am sure if Mr Ruto had pleaded with the President, Mr Washiali would have survived the axe,” Mr Echesa said.

He added: “There has been talk about Mr Atwoli and Oparanya pushing for the changes, but I never saw them at State House. The person I saw was the Deputy President and unfortunately, he didn’t raise a finger on the fate of Mr Washiali”.
