Photos Of Magoha’s Multimillion Shillings Village Mansion In Yala, Siaya County 

Magoha built himself a palatial home in Yala on a piece of land he bought after moving from his ancestral home.

The death of the former Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha shocked the villages of Umiru, Yala and Ahono Ratudi, in Gem sub-county in Siaya.

Ahono Ratudi is Magoha’s ancestral home while Umiru is where he bought land and built his home.

Magoha built a multimillion-shillings mansion in Umiru where he relocated to after moving from his ancestral land.

Photos of the mansion only surfaced online following the demise of the former Education CS.

Magoha had an illustrious career in both education and health sectors in Kenya.

The deceased was a surgeon by profession but he also served as a lecturer in medical school.

Magoha had joined Maseno University in Kisumu County as the Professor of Surgery at the School of Medicine just days before he died.

Maseno University’s Director of Public Relations Dr Owen McOnyango said Magoha’s appointment took effect immediately as of on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, – just a week before he died on January 24, 2023.

Magoho, who died at the age of 71, served as the Vice-Chancellor (VC) of the University of Nairobi (UoN) between January 2005 and January 2015.

Besides being the VC of the UoN, Magoha served as the Professor of Surgery at the institution’s College of Health Sciences.

After exiting the UoN as Vice-Chancellor in 2015, Magoha was appointed the chairperson of the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) between 2016 and 2019.

On March 1, 2019, the then-president, Uhuru Kenyatta, nominated him for the position of Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education, and was sworn into office on March 26, 2019 after being vetted by the National Assembly.

Magoha served as the CS for Education until his replacement by Ezekiel Machogu in President William Ruto’s administration on October 27, 2022.
