Embattled former Sports CS Rashid Echesa has bowed to his fate after he was fired by President Uhuru Kenyatta. In August 2018, he accused ODM leader Raila Odinga of plotting to have him sacked after the handshake with President Uhuru Kenyatta. "The President appointed me because I'm a child of the poor. When President Uhuru went to lay a wreath at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's mausoleum in Bondo in December last year, he was unhappy with its state. He said president Uhuru Kenyatta should reconsider his decision to fire Echesa as the sports CS.
