He has served in various capacities in both public service and private sectors, including as Minister of State for Provincial Administration and National Security, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs. Madoka is renowned for his contributions to Kenya's governance, sports development, and education.

Early life and education

Madoka was born in Mwatate, Taita-Taveta County, Kenya. He attended Hospital Hill Primary School and later Shimo La Tewa High School. He furthered his studies through the Outward Bound Kenya programme, known for developing leadership and resilience skills.[1]

Military career

Madoka began his career in the Kenya Army, eventually rising to the rank of Major. In 1966, at just 22 years old, he became the first Aide-de-Camp (ADC) to President Jomo Kenyatta. This position cemented his reputation as a disciplined and capable officer. He was later awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his distinguished service, as documented in the London Gazette.[2][3]

During his tenure, Madoka was instrumental in strengthening national security, fostering international relations, and modernising Kenya's diplomatic engagement strategies.[4][1]

Business and leadership

In addition to his political roles, Madoka has had a successful career in business. He served as General Manager of New Products at East African Breweries Limited (EABL). Later, he became Chairman of the Kenya Ports Authority and Chairman of Outward Bound Kenya, championing youth empowerment and leadership development.[5]

Philanthropy and sports development

Madoka is the founder of the annual Madoka Half Marathon, a prominent event aimed at promoting sports and fostering community development in Taita-Taveta County. Sponsored by organisations such as Safaricom and the Kenya Ports Authority, the marathon has nurtured local athletic talent.[6]
