Echesa said he looks forward to giving his best to help Ruto achieve the Kenya Kwanza promises made during campaigns.
He also thanked President Ruto for appointing him to the role, saying that it was an honour.
"Congratulations to me for this next step. I am indebted and beholden to H.E. The President Dr. William Ruto for considering me for this noble appointment as the Chairman of Kenya Water Towers Agency Board (KWTA). I look forward to working diligently and industriously so as to fulfil KK manifestos to the people of Kenya. Mungu mbele," Echesa said on Friday.
His remarks come after President William Ruto appointed him the chairperson of the Kenya Water Towers Agency Board (KWTA).
In his new role, Echesa will serve for a period of three years, effective May 19, 2023.
