Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jnr has mourned former Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha as great education reformist.
Mutula said Prof Mogoha was an exceptional person who will be remembered for bringing reforms in the new education system Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).
“He did everything possible in the CBC curriculum during its inception stages and it is such a big loss since we expected his guidance would have been needed in implementing CBC further,” said Mutula in Wote office today.
The Governor added that Magoha also brought infrastructural reforms to the University of Nairobi (UON) while he was the Vice Chancellor at the institution adding that he also led the Ministry of Education well.
“I had an opportunity to work with him as a lawyer while he was the Vice-chancellor (VC) at the UON representing the varsity in the corridors of justice. He was such a gentle person,” he added.
“On behalf of the people of Makueni, my family, and I, convey deep-felt condolences to the larger Magoha family, relatives, friends, and all Kenyans,” eulogised Mutula.
