Before his tragic death on Tuesday evening, former Education cabinet secretary Professor George Magoha was in regular contact with Azimio leader Raila Odinga, according to Odinga.
The ODM leader said that their most recent communication occurred two weeks ago.
“We’ve been keeping in touch over the phone; our most recent conversation took place about two weeks ago. We had been discussing the upcoming change, and he had apparently left to go on an interview at Maseno University “Quote from Raila.
On Wednesday, he visited Magoha’s home in Lavington, Nairobi, to offer condolences to his wife and children.
According to Raila, the vice chancellor of the university acknowledged that Magoha had been interviewed and offered a teaching position in the School of Medicine.
And Magoha pledged to work tirelessly to enhance education in Maseno.
His younger brother Alex died in the United States less than two weeks ago, and his funeral is this coming Saturday.
On Tuesday, family members flew Magoha’s body to Kenya, where they say they learned of his death in flight.
It’s tragic, according to Raila, since both brothers’ bodies are currently in the same morgue at the Lee Funeral Home.
Professor George Magoha’s family has Raila’s “strongest condolences” and “strongest support.” “We genuinely want to mourn with the family,” Raila stated.
He said the loss of the CS was like losing a scholar from the academic community.
According to Raila, Magoha spent his entire life helping the people of Kenya and making a name for himself in the fields of medical research and academic teaching.
“His time was also spent in administration, and I believe he was one of the most effective vice-chancellors of the University of Nairobi. Through his efforts, discipline, perseverance, and professionalism were generated “His words.
The ODM leader said that Magoha’s ability to prevent dishonesty in national exams was due to this uncommon trait. Exam cheating was widespread in Kenya’s educational system.
With his changes, “exam cheating was fully eradicated and he made sure that Kenyan pupils could compete and obtain what they deserved,” as Raila put it.
