Everything came to a standstill in Mumias Town on Friday morning after the former Sports Cabinet Secretary, Rashid Echesa made a homecoming.
The embattled former CS clearly hasn’t lost his support in Mumias as his envoy was warmly welcomed with a lot of supporters on motorbikes hooting in his support.
Others were also carrying placards in his honor.
This warm welcome by Mumias comes months after he was arrested amid a probe into his role in a KSh39 billion fake tender deal to supply the Government with military surveillance equipment, guns, and ammunition.
He was held in custody in February after a complaint by two gun dealers who claimed he had swindled them Sh11.5 million that they had paid as ‘consultancy fees’.
