The death of former Education CS George  Magoha came barely two months after his brother Alex Nyabera Magoha passed on.

Nyabera passed on in Allen, Texas in the US on December 6, 2022.

Alex was to be laid to rest on Saturday.

In August 2021, the former CS lost his other brother, Charles Agunga Magoha who died in Sweden.

Magoha died on Tuesday at a Nairobi hospital after he collapsed in his house.

The Nairobi hospital  CEO James Nyamongo confirmed his death in a statement.

"It is with great regret that we announce the sudden and untimely demise of Professor George Magoha this evening at The Nairobi Hospital," The Nairobi Hospital  CEO James Nyamongo said in a statement.

Prof Magoha who is an alumnus of DR Livingstone Primary School and Starehe Boys Centre and School graduated from Strathmore College and the University of Lagos, Nigeria with a Bachelor's Degree in Medicine.

His journey to greatness began as an intern and rose to senior resident and clinical lecturer in surgery at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital before joining the University of Nairobi in 1988, where he became a full professor in 2000.

At The University of Nairobi where he served as the Vice-Chancellor, he was nicknamed a "Buffalo" because of his boldness in taking head-on anyone who rubbed him the wrong way.

Kenyans and leaders have condoled with the family of Magoha.
