Saturday, April 13, 2024 –Former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa has exposed President William Ruto’s right hand man, Farouk Kibet.
Speaking on Friday April 12 during a rally that was also attended by a number of opposition leaders among them former area Governor Wycliffe Oparanya, the embattled Echesa told the crowd that Farouk Kibet was behind his tribulations including the recent arrest and kidnap.
He confidently attacked the president’s close and long-time aide saying, he(Farouk) was helping Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa to fight him. He added that this is because Barasa and Farouk had become friends doing some county businesses together.
“Farouk you are a God respecting person. You have build many churches in Western and you know I have helped President William Ruto in getting votes around the country. Stop maligning your own good name with bad activities.
“I know, for a fact, that the person who is tormenting me behind the scenes is not Kakamega governor who believes in witchcraftsm. The main person doing all these to me is my friend Farouk Kibet,” he claimed.
Echesa further noted that he will not sit down quiet as he is attacked and assured that he will deal with Kakamega Governor should Mr. Barasa when Farouk keeps distance.
“Barasa is a very small person. I have no headache dealing with him,” he charged further.
Echesa, who is the current Water Towers Board Chairman and Kakamega Barasa are currently in court over extortion accusations.
