Embattled former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Echesa has called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to forgive him for any wrongdoings.
Speaking during an interview at his residence, Echesa bemoaned the humiliation he was being subjected to by law enforcement agencies.
He claimed that his arrest over the Matungu killings was not informed by proper investigations.
"What I want to tell Mr President, if there's anything wrong that I did that offended you or that you don't want to tell me and maybe I don't know, kindly Mr President, find a place in your heart and forgive me," said Echesa.
Echesa also called on the Head of State to tell him whether he was being persecuted for supporting Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
"If supporting William Ruto could be the problem, I better be told than subjecting me to this humiliation," he added.
The former CS was replaced with Ambassador Amina Mohamed following a mini cabinet reshuffle. A section of political pundits argues that the vocal politician was sacked over his involvement in politics.
During his stint as cabinet secretary, Echesa attacked opposition leader Raila Odinga and accused him of plotting his ouster from the sports docket.
