SIGNAL“The sacking of Mr Echesa is not about the fight against corruption by President Kenyatta but a plot targeting Mr Ruto’s 2022 presidential ambitions,” said Mr Washiali. Mr Washiali dared the President and Mr Odinga to take away his Chief Whip position as well. Mr Echesa told mourners at a funeral in Marinda village in Matungu constituency that he learnt of his dismissal from the media. According to Mr Washiali, who addressed the mourners, everyone has a tainted life and Echesa was no exception. If the President felt Mr Echesa was not up to the task, he would have appointed another minister from Western,” said Mr Shinali.
