President William Ruto has skipped the burial of the late former Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha.
The Head of State who had earlier been expected to attend the ceremony did not show up for the burial in Siaya County which has been attended by among other leaders former President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was also a no-show at the event.
The two leaders were instead the 9th National and County Coordinating Summit at Enashipai Hotel, in Naivasha, Nakuru County.
In his message of condolence which was read by ICT Cabinet Secretary Eliud Owalo, President Ruto Ruto labeled Magoha as a man who held his ideals in high regard and who was ready to get his hands dirty to make his beliefs a reality.
“Prof. Magoha loved doing his work. He had no half-measures. He put his whole heart and being into everything that he did and he believed in whatever he did. If he did not believe in it he did not even begin doing it,” said Ruto in the tribute read on his behalf by ICT CS Eliud Owalo.
Ruto added that Magoha was an outstanding leader, scholar and a professional role model whose dreams, aspirations and successes will be immortalised in history
He similarly lauded Magoha’s hard-line stance on having all children across the country attend schools noting that it bettered their lives.
“He dedicated himself to have duty as CS saw him set out to keep our children in school. He roamed in the villages looking for dropout children and returning them to the classroom he visited individual homes in the slums and informal settlement to find out why children are not in school,” said Ruto.
