President Uhuru Kenyatta decision to fire Sports and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Rashid Achesa is centred on incompetency.
Mr Kenyatta has been seemingly a worried man as looming news about firing illiterate Echeza did rounds on social media in the recent past.
The executive order signed by the President read…“…committed to enhancing efficiency, transparency and accountability at all levels of Government through a governance structure and leadership that ensures rapid delivery of public services to Kenyans in every part of the Republic.”
He was relieved of his duties in the latest cabinet reshuffle on Friday.
Mr Echesa only underwent basic formal education, a report on his vetting had revealed.
He has been replaced by former Education CS Amina Mohammed.
KNEC Chairman George Magoha was nominated to head the Education docket.
The announcements were made through Executive Order No.3 of 2019 dated Friday March 1.
Mr Achesa’s nomination was unveiled by President Uhuru Kenyatta when he announced changes in his administration on January 26, 2018.
