He was later appointed the Chief of Kadibo location in 1956, a position he used to help the community especially during the floods in 1963 where he mobilized help for the flood victims and built tents for them as temporary housing. He also mobilized villagers to volunteer and help dig water canals as a way of mitigating the floods. He later sourced for grants to help start various primary schools like Odienya, Ogenya, Korwana and pioneered as the founding fathers of secondary schools like Otieno Oyoo and Masogo. Through the Chief’s Act (a rule at the time) he enforced a rule that all the children in the village to attend school and detention for parents who did not take the children to school. This lead to an uptake of education opportunities in the communities he led.

His legacy is credited to have contributed to the construction of the Korowe-Nyangande-Nduru murram road in the late 1960’s. He died in 1986 from throat cancer and this foundation was started in his honor.Aguko foundation began its activities informally in 2015 as a family driven initiative to support the communities living in Kadibo Sub County ward, Kisumu County affected by various calamities such as floods, which have negative outcomes such as loss of livelihoods and hunger.
