While defending the move to solicit a job for Magoha’s sister, Machogu revealed that the late Education Cabinet Secretary had picked his son, Paul Machogu Junior, as his aide after he was appointed to head the Ministry of Education by former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
“Professor Magoha walked with that young man for three and a half years. Every place he went to, he was with Machogu junior. As a father, he imparted the necessary Christian values to that young man,” CS Machogu narrated.
