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.
"I can confirm to the nation that Nyambaria High School which came top nationally and other schools from Gusii have been top performers for many years. The criticism against CS Machogu is therefore uncalled for and unacceptable," Nyambati said during the meeting.
He said 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 thanked President William Ruto for appointing Machogu as the education Cabinet Secretary.
"We thank our President for appointing CS Machogu as his minister for education. As a community, we will support him because he has what it takes to streamline the entire education sector," said.
They jointly appealed to the Kenya Kwanza Kwanza government to initiate development projects in Kisii and Nyamira counties in the spirit of the bottom-up economic model.
The professionals took the opportunity to invite 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 leaders were speaking early today in a thanksgiving breakfast meeting that was held at a Nairobi hotel. The meeting was attended by hundreds of professionals from the public and private sectors.
Among those who attended the meeting were 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.
Others were Nairobi Hospital board vice chair Dr Chris Bichage, and Cooperative University deputy vice-chancellor Prof Isaac Nyamongo, among others.
