CS Ezekiel Machogu educational background is hardly in the limelight being a newcomer in national politics. Initial reports say the Education Cabinet Secretary is a highly learned executive.
The UDA-affiliated Machogu is lately controversial for lack of clarity on his press briefings. A case in point is a much-televised speech in which he was quoted proposing the scrapping of HELB Loan funding meant to support comrades from low-income families.

While addressing the vetting panel, Machogu introduced himself as a loving husband and a father of five adult children.

On completing his primary studies, Machogu proceeded to join Nduru Boys in Kisii County for his O-Levels. Thereafter, he enrolled at Agoro Sare Secondary School in Homabay County for his A-levels.

Who is CS Ombaki Ezekiel Machogu?
The 66-years-old Ezekiel Machogu brags extensive skills in senior ranks of the government. So far, a majority of Kenyans think that he is a no-nonsense man but not necessarily to the calibre of his Kisii tribesman-predecessor, Dr Fred Matiangi.
He landed the CS job after losing the Kisii County gubernatorial race to his Excellency Simba Arati.
