After he cunningly manipulated a few elders and crooked men to install him as the Abashitsetse Spokesman, King Nabongo was furious. The king issued a stern statement, declaring that there can only be one spokesman of the Wanga people—the king himself.
Rashid Echessa has been facing severe consequences from this illegitimate installation.
Wanga elders insist that the Omukasa is protected by their gods, and no one else can claim this sacred title. It is hereditary, and they were shocked that Rashid Echessa, whose bloodline has never been linked to leadership, would dare to force himself into a position he cannot rightfully ascend to. Residents of Shibale recall that Rashid was once a notorious thief and burglar, who schemed his way into prominence. He would orchestrate thefts, warn the targets in advance, and then let his accomplices proceed with the plan, often leading to their deaths by police. He would then extort money from the target and use some of the cash to pay for the boys' burials or hospital bills. One of his victims was former MD Evans Kidero.
He attempted the same scheme with Kebati, but when Kebati refused to pay him, Rashid shot him, leaving Kebati permanently disabled.
Now, all those who plotted and installed Rashid Echessa as the spokesman are suffering. The Wanga gods are not pleased.
1. Prince Ambani - He cannot sleep, as snakes slither through his compound daily. Troubled, he has called elders to help and sent a delegation to the king to ask for forgiveness. His troubles began when his car was stolen in Mumias. Auctioneers are now after him, and he is a man under siege.
2. Mzee Tombera - He is bedridden, wracked with pain and cries every day.
3. Opanda- He is sickly and appears to be losing his sanity, haunted by his actions.
And many others.
Rashid himself cannot sleep, plagued by visions that cause him to shout every night. In desperation, he has sent elders to King Nabongo, begging to reverse the process. Nabongo has given him conditions that are not easy to meet.
