Former cabinet secretary Rashid Echesa was among a team of politicians allied to the Kenya Kwanza faction who attended the funeral ceremony of former nominated senator Honourable Godliver Omondi in Bulimbo, Kakamega county.
When he took to the podium to address the crowd, the former CS Rashid Echesa left nothing to chance as he poked holes in Railas political strategy and his stint at the coveted Statehouse ( presidency ).
Defiant Echesa openly said in Railas face that things will not go well for him in the 2027 presidential battle should he continue walking with the people he is walking with right now.
“I say things the way they are, politics is like soccer. Baba I want to tell you that you cannot go to play with players who do not even know what position they play in the field,”said Echesa.
According to Echesa, Raila has chosen persons who are not steady politically and placed them in the middle of his gameplay. People who keep on changing allies. He singled out Butere Member of Parliament Tindi Mwale as one of the lame players Raila has chosen.
“I was surprised with Mwale’s speech, how can you come here and pretend to be telling UDA leaders to tell Ruto to bring down the cost of fuel when you were personally with him last week. Why didn’t you tell him yourself,” questioned Echesa.
“Politics is a thin lin, its either you are in government or in position,” he said. He went on and cautioned Raila that things will badly turn against him come 2027 should he continue walking with such people.
“Baba I want to tell you that it will go badly for you come 2027 should you continue walking with such people. Look around for other smart people. They are available,” said Echesa.
