Education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha has angered a section of Kenyans on social media after his video insulting an education officer in Uasin Gishu went viral.
In the video, Prof Magoha hits out at the aged while conducting an inspection at Langas Primary School in Eldoret.
He faulted the man for the poor state of the school he was inspecting, and later dismissed him from the meeting.
The man tried to assure the CS that he was addressing the said issue, but Prof Magoha could hear none of it opting to send him away.
“Nikisema wewe ni mjinga ni uwongo , you are talking about the report I’m talking about what is on the ground… Unaweza enda, can you get away from this meeting now, we ni mjinga kabisa…He doesn’t understand the problem,” Magoha said.
