Kenyans ‘Over the moon’ as Uhuru appoints No-nonsense Prof Magoha Education CS

Kenyans have applauded the move of President Uhuru Kenyatta to appoint Chairman of the Kenya National Examinations Council no-nonsense Prof. George A.O Magoha to be the cabinet secretary of Education after Amina Mohammed was moved to the ministry of Sports and Culture.

This follows the sacking of Rashid Mohammed Echesa for being incompetent in his work.

These are some of their reactions.

All the donkey work in the ministry of education was being done by Prof Magoha. His appointment as the CS for the same ministry is well deserved and it's highly welcomed. The best decision President Kenyatta has ever made.

Phill Obiero says, “The only sensible thing here is the Magoha promotion hio ya Amina ni mchezo katika wizara ya michezo!!
Echesa thought amefika kumbe bado “

Thanks for the new highly learned, focused and successful Prof George Magoha appointment as the new Education Science and Technology CS.
We had problems in education as wrong people headed all the departments. At least we need a complete surgery in education.

Felix Simba added, “Prof. Magoha is suitable for the Education docket. However, suitable is Amb. Amina Mohammed for the Sports docket? ‘

Appointing Magoha in Education is a wise move. But Echesa is the sacrificial lamb to cover up the 23bn dam heist as Ruto helps them privatise JKIA

Wesley Otieno tweeted,”Prof George Albert Omore Magoha ‘s appointment is a clear demonstration that you can still get a government appointment on the basis of merit and not necessarily on the basis of having a godfather. Congratulations Prof Magoha. “

If there is Education CS who will spire growth in our children and future generation,it is Prof. George Magoha. He inspire the UON to greater heights. I wish him all the best in new appointment.
