Rashid Echesa, former Cabinet Secretary of Sports, received the boot this morning by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Though it can be termed as a minor victory for anti-corruption officials, there is still a lot to be desired in this cabinet reshuffle.
Indeed, other top government officials (whose names have been dragged in a myriad of looting scandals) are still in the government.
This is why some netizens have taken online to express their frustration on a somewhat ‘bias’ cabinet reshuffle.
To be honest, Rashid Echesa was a small fish in a sea of high-profile cohorts that have been reaping the benefits of state protection and stealing billions with impunity.
In fact, here is what netizens had to say about the whole saga:
<I am not celebrating yet until the entire house is clean Rashid Echesa has been dismissed as a sacrificial lamb, if Mwangi Kiunjuri and Henry Rotich are still seated in that office this remains the normal PR we are used to.
