President Kenyatta on Friday morning made a mini-Cabinet reshuffle that has seen Cabinet Secretary in charge of Sports, Rashid Echesa fired.
In an executive directive, President Uhuru has replaced Echesa with Ambassador Amina Mohammed, who has been the Education CS.
“In accordance with Article 152(5) of the Constitution, as read together with Article 152(1)(d) of the Constitution, the appointment of Mr. Rashid Echesa Mohamed, as a Cabinet Secretary has been vacated,” reads the Executive Order by Kenyatta.
Prof. George Magoha, who is currently the Chairman of the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC), has been nominated to replace Ms. Amina in the Education Ministry.
Also sacked is the PS in charge of Broadcasting and Telecommunication, Fatuma Hirsi.
“In accordance with Article 155 of the Constitution, the appointment of Mrs. Fatuma Hirsi, as a Principal Secretary has been vacated,” the order reads.

“The portfolio responsibilities and changes made in the structure of government set out in this order shall come into immediate effect,” Kenyatta notes.
Why is Kiunjuri and the rest…
Why is Kiunjuri and the rest corrupt CS left out? Amina Mohammed was overdue. She messed up our ministry of education. I hope Prof. George Magoha will straighten up ministry of education.
When faced with a crisis…
When faced with a crisis token firings and theatrics are what the boy in statehouse can come up with. Echesa had no qualifications that would render him fit as sports CS. In a government that has one mega looting scandal after another Echesa was playing in the minor leagues and for that reason this is more gimmicks.
Meanwhile in the latest scandal Ruto has the audacity to say that its not 21B that was lost in the dams scandal but just 7B. The man is as out of touch as the boy in statehouse.

Thaaaaank you, thank you sir…
Thaaaaank you, thank you sir for saving the education docket! On a light note, I did not know that you were reading “my comments” and considered the sound advice therein! If you doubt my bragging rights, get a collection of my mwakilishi comments since CS Amina took over MoE. There is more where that uchambuzi of what has been ailing MoE came from. Now Professor Magoha. please clean up the mess in MoE. Do not entertain the mediocrity that is in the top brass at MoE-again just look at the top 30 and you will find the weakest link and obstacles to the path to quality Education.
