A few days ago, Prof. Magoha, the new Education CS walked in the ministry of education offices, only to find many staff members missing. On a light note, Magoha dropped a warning which sounded more of a joke, but he meant every word.
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has made changes at the ministry and regional offices days after he warned the lazy staff.
Speaking at a meeting with regional directors of education, ministry and TSC county directors, Prof Magoha said he would stop at nothing to ensure the Competency-based Curriculum, free learning programmes, increased enrolmen
“I am asking lazy staff to either shape up or start packing up,” said the CS,
who was accompanied by Chief Administrative Secretary Colleta Suda, Basic Education PS Belio Kipsang and TSC boss Nancy Macharia.
CHANGES MAGOHA MADE IN THE MINISTRY
Prof Magoha singled out the Quality Assurance and Standards Directorate, which he said had failed to ensure smooth supervision of all school programmes.
After putting the directorate on the spot, he moved its head, Mr Pius Mutisya, to field services. Dr Mary Gaturu is now the acting director of quality assurance. Until her appointment, she was regional director of education in Rift Valley.
Ms Nereah Olick, the western regional director of education, has been appointed deputy director, primary education.
Dr Sylvester Mulambe, who was a deputy director, is now the director of policy.
