Cotu boss Francis Atwoli has said last Friday’s sacking of Sports minister Rashid Echesa has nothing to do with removing the Luhya community from government. Atwoli said Echesa’s position was Western’s and aked who proposed his name, saying he had cost Luhyas their slot. Jubilee MPs in Western led by National Assembly Majority leader Ben Washiali have condemned the sacking and threatened to leave Jubilee. But Atwoli has said Washiali should first resign as Majority leader in protest, to show his seriousness abouto the Luhya agenda. During the burial of Lugari MP Ayub Savula’s daughter on January 5, Atwoli publicly cursed Echesa for disrespecting him.
