DAILY POST: RAILA ODINGA Jnr celebrates the sacking of RICHARD ECHESA - Never dares Baba because he is also an indirect ‘appointing authority’! Politics 06:45 Friday March 1, 2019 - Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s son, Raila Odinga Jnr, was among millions of Kenyans who celebrated the sacking of Sports and Culture Cabinet Secretary, Richard Echesa. Echesa’s docket was taken by Amina Mohamed who was earlier serving as Education CS.

Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) chairman, Prof George Magoha, was appointed Education CS though he must wait for an approval from Parliament. Following the sacking of Echesa, Raila’s son took to social media to celebrate his sacking In a rather cheeky way, Raila Junior mocked Echesa for daring his father to sack him if indeed he was such a powerful figure in the local political landscape. "Hmm, some threats are better left unsaid," he said.

Echesa, in August 2018, claimed that Raila was out to clip his political wings and dim his bright star.

Breathing fire and brimstone, Echesa gave Raila a thorough tongue lashing and he went ahead to ask him to sack him if he is the appointing authority. “Kila mahali Raila anaenda anaita viongozi wa Western anaanza kuwaambia mheshimiwa Uhuru Kenyatta hataki Rashid, Rashid ni mtu wa William Ruto. Please Raila, give me a break, I am not your equal!” “We have one Government led by Uhuru and William Ruto and those are the only people I will pledge my priority to and not to you, Raila Odinga. I want to dare you Raila, if you are the appointing authority, come and sack me,” Echesa told Raila.
