Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said the government will provide the necessary support to the family of late Prof George Magoha to ensure he gets a befitting send-off.
Gachagua announced that a Kenya Airforce helicopter will be available to airlift the body from Nairobi to his Gem home in Siaya as part of Government support.
The late Magoha will be laid to rest next Saturday.
“We will assist the family in any way we can to ensure that the former Education Cabinet Secretary receives a fitting send-off,” Gachagua said.
Gachagua assured the family that the government would assist with the burial arrangements and that any other logistical support, such as tents and food for mourners, would be provided.
The DP made the remarks on Saturday while accompanying Cabinet members and senior government officials to Magoha family’s Nairobi residence to convey condolences.
Gachagua stated that the government would be represented by ICT CS Eliud Owalo, Interior PS Raymond Omollo, and the Chief of Staff at the Deputy President’s Office George McGoye to aid in coordination and burial preparations.
