“Bishop Oginde is highly respected at home and abroad for his strong reputation in forthrightness, integrity, and his tireless efforts towards the promotion of ethics and virtue in society,” read the statement in parts.
According to Ruto’s Chief of Staff Felix Koskei, if approved, Oginde’s appointment will give Kenya a demonstrable champion for deepening a value-based culture in the nation.
Oginde holds a Ph.D. in organizational leadership from Regent University School of Business and Leadership, USA.
He also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Nairobi.
The bishop pursued Biblical Studies at the Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Trinity International University) Illinois, USA.
