Former Cabinet Secretary for Education George Magoha has joined Maseno University in a new role.
According to Maseno University director of public relations Dr. Owen McOnyango, Magoha is taking up the role of Professor of Surgery at the university’s School of Medicine.
“He is an asset to us due to his vast experience and strong professional background. Our School of Medicine is relatively new and to get an experienced and strong personality like Magoha is definitely a plus for us,” Dr. McOnyango told a local daily.
It will not be the first time that Magoha will be taking a role at a university. He previously served as the Vice-Chancellor at the University of Nairobi (UoN) for ten years (2005 to 2015).
