Former Sports CS Rashid Echesa has revealed that he attended adult school with Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho.
Speaking at a public rally in Matungu on Saturday, Echesa disclosed that he decided to enroll in adult school when he was appointed as a cabinet secretary.
He explained that the move was necessitated by the fact that he was not well educated.
Echesa further stated that he was surprised when he bumped into Joho when he began his classes at the school.
"Mimi vile nilipewa kazi ya uaziri, mnajua masomo [yangu] ilikuwa chini kidogo, nikasema niende kwa gumbaru. (When I was appointed as a minister, I decided to enroll in adult school since I did not have a strong education background)
"Ile gumbaru nilienda yule nilipata Joho. Kwa hiyo gumbaru, mtu mjinga wa mwisho alikuwa Joho, (I met Joho in that school. He was the most stupid person)," he narrated.
The former ODM youth winger went on to explain that Atwoli should not compare Joho to Ruto since the latter is a Ph.D. holder.
He told the COTU boss that he had no authority to speak on behalf of the Luhya community.
Earlier on Saturday, Atwoli had claimed that a plan had been hatched to block DP William Ruto from contesting for the presidency in 2022.
