NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 17 – Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha says he has delivered during his tenure despite appearing to be arrogant.
Speaking during a press conference after commissioning phase 2 Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) classrooms in Embakasi, Magoha stated that the results of his work speak for themselves.
“We are eagles and we fly high and we are not afraid. And we deliver. We deliver to the extent that even if you don’t like us as eagles, you can go and count what we have delivered,” he said.
“If during that process, we have looked like we are arrogant, then we seek your forgiveness but not that we are about to change. Eagles always keep on flying. Even when the eagle is going, he just disappears into the sky.”
The CS indicated that it was not easy for him to be the Cabinet Secretary during the pandemic, and he had been extremely firm to move things forward in the line of duty, which forced him to seem arrogant and make jokes that he did not mean.
“I want to say without any fear of contradiction, that if any of those jokes went to the wrong side, it was not intentional and my apologies to the general public about that.”
“There is no body who is perfect. I believe that in order for me to have been given the opportunity to serve in this capacity it was purely by the grace of God,” he said.
Magoha has called on the outgoing government not to make major policies that will affect the coming government and that they be allowed to complete the major projects they had started.
