Kapsaret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has defended the appointment of the new sports cabinet secretary Rashid Echesa despite his education background.
He said it's not education that will run the sports docket but one's experience.
"I want to applaud president Uhuru Kenyatta for appointing Echesa as the sports CS not putting in mind his educational background. I want to tell those condemning him that his ministry is practical and does not need papers," he said in Eldoret town, Wednesday.
"I have also faced similar accusations but I have proved to my critiques that it's not papers that work but someone's skills and knowledge," he added.
He reiterated that there are MP's who are educated but they have done nothing in their constituencies to change the livelihoods of their electorates.
"I have Members of Parliament who are professors but they have done nothing in their constituencies compared to what I have done in my constituency yet I am not learned," noted Sudi.
He urged Kenyans to give him a chance to show what he can do since you cannot judge a book by its cover.
