President William Ruto has appointed former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa to be the Chairperson of the Kenya Water Towers Agency Board.

According to a gazette notice dated May 19, 2023, Echesa will serve for a period of three (3) years, with effect from the 19th May 2023. 

Echesa was appointed as Cabinet Minister in retired President Uhuru Kenyatta's second term as Head of State until March 1, 2019, when he was fired in a Cabinet reshuffle. 

His removal as Cabinet Minister came under a wave of corruption allegations that had dogged the Sports docket.
