But Mr Echesa argues that since Mr Washiali comes from the Wanga sub-tribe of the Luhya, the community will be left without representation in government after he was fired from Sports Ministry. He said the Wangas supported Mr Kenyatta’s re-election in 2017 and he should show some appreciation by retaining Mr Washiali. “I request President Kenyatta to refer to IEBC and he will realise that Mr Washiali delivered over 8,000 votes against Mr Wangwe’s 2,000,” added Mr Echesa.
