The Family of the former Education Cabinet Secretary, the late George Magoha, on Friday, February 3, announced that he will be laid to rest at his ancestral home in Umiru, Siaya County on Saturday, February 11.
Addressing the press, former Principal Secretary of the State Department of Early Learning and Basic Education, Julius Jwan revealed that the family will hold a series of processions over a period of three days that will pay homage to the life of the late renowned scholar.
Jwan, who is the speaker of the late minister's funeral arrangement committee, also revealed that Magoha's body will pass through a number of locations that held a special relationship with the late former CS.

Before his body is airlifted to his rural home on Wednesday, February 8, a farewell caravan shall proceed from Lee Funeral Home to 12 special locations that meant a lot to him.
They include the College of Health Sciences at Kenyatta National Hospital, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council headquarters, the Nigerian High Commission, Saint George's Primary School, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), on Dennis Pritt Road, State House Girls, the University of Nairobi (UoN) graduation square and Starehe Boys Centre.
On Thursday, February 9, Magoha's requiem mass will be held at the Consolata Shrine in Westlands from 9 am in line with the doctrines of catholicism.
"On Friday, February 10, the body will arrive at Township Primary School in Yala at 1 pm before a procession leading up to St. Mary's High School Yala and subsequently a holy mass to follow at his home in Umiru," added Jwan.
"It should be remembered that in his last tour of duty as CS Education, Magoha was always in the midst of children and students. This explains why we are focusing on the schools where he had a major impact on learners."
Magoha's funeral mass service will be held on Saturday, February 11 at Odera Kango University in Yala from 10 am.
"The family notes with gratitude the immense love for and the high regard with which the late Magoha was held by Kenyans from all works of life," Jwan went on.
"We want to particularly thank the media for the extensive empathetic and reflective coverage that you have accorded this major loss to the Kenyan society."
A subsequent update on Magoha's funeral arrangements will be offered by the family on Tuesday, February 7, at his Lavington home.
As initially reported by digital communication strategist Pauline Njoroge, former President Uhuru Kenyatta had directed former Interior Cabinet Secretary (CS) Fred Matiang'i to form a committee consisting of other former CSs in his Cabinet.
The former CSs will also work with the family of the late Prof Magoha to ensure he is given a befitting send-off.
While addressing mourners and the family of the late Magoha, at Lavington, Nairobi, on Tuesday, January 31, Matiang'i revealed that his colleagues who previously served in Uhuru's regime will make contributions to support the two children Magoha had sponsored.
"There's only one request I have, and I was asked to make on behalf of my Cabinet colleagues...I'm told there are one or two kids that Prof Magoha was supporting for school fees. My cabinet colleagues, those of us who served with Magoha in Cabinet under the leadership of our President, we will make a contribution because the President told me to talk to my colleagues in Cabinet to see whether there's anything he can help us to do to support one or two of those kids that Magoha was supporting.
"Let none of them be stranded on the account of our brother's departure," he said.
