Former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his wife Margaret Kenyatta have visited the home of the late Prof. George Magoha in Lavington, Nairobi.

Magoha, who served in President Kenyatta's administration as Education Cabinet Secretary, died aged 71 on January 24 following a cardiac arrest.

Kenyatta was accompanied to Lavington by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and some of the Cabinet secretaries who served alongside Magoha in the fourth administration.

They include former Interior CS Fred Matiang'i, Ukur Yattani (Treasury), Eugene Wamalwa (Defence), Joe Mucheru (ICT) and former Interior PS Karanja Kibicho.

President Kenyatta had, last week, asked the former CSs to form a committee to help Magoha's family with funeral arrangements.

Magoha will be buried on February 11, 2023, in Yala, Gem Constituency, Siaya County.
