Cabinet Secretary for Education Professor George Magoha will no longer manage the Ministry’s human resources.
This follows his public remonstration with the County Director of Education (CDE) Mbaka. The Public Service Commission (PSC) stripped Magoha of his powers and handed them over to Basic Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang’.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) communications director Browne Kutswa stated that the changes will happen immediately.
“The Commission has designated the Principal Secretary for Early Learning and Basic Education, Dr. Richard Belio Kipsang, to be in charge of all human resource issues in the ministry of education,” said Browne Kutswa.
Kutswa said that the Public Service Commission Chairperson Stephen Kirogo duly informed all public university councils and the Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua of the news concerning Kipsang’s additional new role.
He further explained that the move is intended to protect public servants against undignified and unwarranted attacks.
“Kirogo noted that the move was within the legal mandate of the commission to protect public servants against undignified and unwarranted attacks,” added Kutswa.

However, on November 11, 2020, CS Magoha on his part refused to apologize when he was asked about the incident in Machakos. He stated that he cannot apologize as he reminded his critics of how efficient he has been in his past posts.
