Gusii Professionals Tell off CS Machogu Critics Over KCSE Results
Professionals from Kisii and Nyamira counties have expressed their support for Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu following a public outcry over the marking of the 2022 KCSE examinations.
Led by former Kisii governor James Ongwae and his former Deputy Governor Joash Maangi, the group called for the appreciation and support of the CS and his efforts in the education sector. Former Governor of Kisii James Ongwae stated that
“The government has our full support. We urge the President and his leadership to support development projects in Gusii. We fully support our CS Machogu and what he is doing in the education sector.”
Maangi further added that the performance exhibited in Gusii lands was a result of hard work and serious investments in the education sector, and that the community should not be targeted when their children excel.
Dr. J Birundu Mogendi, who was also among the conveners of the meeting, called for calm and urged everyone to support the CS for the betterment of the learners.
Walter Nyambati, the newly appointed Chairman of Geothermal Development Corporation, said that the excellent performance in Kisii and Nyamira in the KCSE results is a result of hard work.
He added that under the stewardship of CS Machogu, the administration of last year’s KCSE examinations was done professionally with the best ethical standards than even in the previous years.
John Simba, the Board Chairman for Sanlam Kenya and Bamburi Cement, also thanked President William Ruto for appointing Machogu as the education Cabinet Secretary.
The group also jointly appealed to the Kenya government to initiate development projects in Kisii and Nyamira counties in the spirit of the bottom-up economic model.
They also invited the President to visit Kisii and Nyamira counties soon so that he can interact with the local people and get to hear more about their needs.
The meeting was attended by hundreds of professionals from the public and private sectors, including former FKF President Sam Nyamweya, Kisii University Vice Chancellor Prof John Akama, Egerton University Vice Chancellor Prof Isaac Kebwage, and Dedan University Council Chair Dr Jane Nyakang’o, among others.
