The final journey of former Cabinet Secretary for Education George Magoha began on Wednesday.

As announced by former Basic Education PS Julius Jwan, a farewell caravan is being held in Nairobi today to honour the late education guru.

The caravan started at Lee Funeral Home and is expected to go through places that defined the adult life of Magoha.

The caravan will go through KNH, Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council (KMPDC), KNEC, St Georges Primary, State House Girls, University of Nairobi and finally at Starehe Centre.

There was a beehive of activities at the Lee funeral home as the body was retrieved for a town procession.

Magoha’s in-laws from Nigeria performed a cultural practice before the body was put in a Mercedes limousine.

Dressed in gowns like white coverups and hats with green patches, they put rungus on the hearse and spoke some words while tapping on the limousine.
