Echesa passed the vetting with only a birth certificate,Junet

Former Sports cabinet Secretary has been receiving backlash from fellow politicians following his removal from office during President Kenyatta’s mini reshuffle.

The latest is ODM member of parlianment for Suna East Junet Mohamed who cracked his the crowd following his statement where he claimed that the enstranged CS passed his vetting to be the cabinet secretary with only a birth certificate.

While speaking during the approval of the nomination of former Nairobi University Vice Chancellor Prof Geroge Magoha Junet said that there was no need to waste time taking the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) chairman through a rigorous process when one can use a certificate of birth to hold office.

“If Echesa went through here with just a birth certificate, we should spend very little time discussing Prof Magoha,” said Junet

He insisted that Magoha has what it takes to transform the education sector following the transfer of CS Amina Mohammed to the Sports docket.

The MPs on Wednesday approved the nomination of Magoha as Education CS, noting that he is the most qualified candidate for the position.

On his part, Echesa has maintained that he was fired unfairly. He has been urging President Uhuru Kenyatta to reveal why he decided to dismiss him from the cabinet. 

The embattled CS has claimed his allegiance to Deputy President William Ruto cost him the seat and rubbished claims that he was linked to a money laundering scandal.
