Former CS George Magoha back to class as medicine professor

Former Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has now joined Maseno University as a professor in the Department of School of Medicine.

Maseno University Director of Public Relations Owen McOnyango on Tuesday told Citizen Digital that the appointment takes effect immediately.

Dr McOnyango said the university is optimistic that Prof Magoha’s experience will elevate the department, adding that it is a good catch for Maseno.

He said Prof Magoha is a renowned academic whose previous networks will be a plus to the university and beneficial to the medicine students.

Prof Magoha served in former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration as Education CS from March 2019.

He had also served as Vice-Chancellor at the University of Nairobi and chairperson of Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) before joining the cabinet.
