To Many People, new Education CS Prof. George Magoha looks like a serious man who maybe has got no time for many social aspects of life.
Well, the latest revelation about the new no-nonsense CS will make you think twice about how you view him.
It has been revealed that Magoha was once a musician with the late Ochieng Kabaselle’s band LUNNA Kidi
He played bass, and even participated in some recording, in the early 70s
Those days we had men of substance for musicians. That was before urchins and other nameless delinquents took over the studios
For that case, thank you president Kenyatta for appointing a musician, the first one to the cabinet. The other rumba priests, not necessarily musicians, to have served in the government are Ambassador Chirau Ali Mwakwere and senate speaker Ken Lusaka
Again, someone tell Magoha, that having been given an opportunity by late Kabasele, in the band, it is time he reciprocates, by doing what we call “kurudisha mkono”. He should not act like a Mt Kenya voter and decline to “return hand” because, just like in a bicycle pedal, we go down in turns
When one is up the other goes down, he was down and today this is his time to reward those who took care of him, like me, through my brother. Isn’t Kenya a “do you know anybody society?”
I love music and musicians. I am now looking for his photo, while on stage with the four stringed instrument.
