Magoha: I Was Deputy Commander Of A Ruthless Eastland’s Gang

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha on Thursday shared a light moment with Elimu and Wings-to-fly scholars about his conduct in secondary school.

Magoha, an alumnus of Starehe Boys Center agreed that a cartoon which was drawn about him was true.

It also had words inscribed โ€˜featuring omore jojโ€™ which are his other two names, George Omore.

The CS said before he got inspiration to join Starehe Boys, he was a deputy commander of a gang.

โ€œI grew up in Eastlands as one of the tough guys there and I used to be deputy commander of a juvenile gang called sicheki,โ€ Magoha said.

He recounted the sicheki gang constantly falling in trouble with the other gangs in the surrounding estates.

โ€œWe used to have skirmishes with all other groups at Ololo (Kaloleni), Makongeni and elsewhere so the cartoon where I was playing guitar is true.โ€

While on his normal duties, Magoha came across a music band at the Starehe Boys center which attracted him to the school.

He was later admitted to form one at Starehe Center where he finished his secondary school studies.

โ€œI liked those bright colors, blue and red so I decided I want to go there because of that band and that also attracted me to play guitar so it is true I used to play guitar,โ€ he added.

However, Magoha attributes his current position and milestones in life to the values instilled in him at the institution.

โ€œOnce I got there, the discipline that was there is why I am what I am today because all the band members including Kabaseli himself died many years ago,โ€ he said.

He urged learners to be disciplined despite their social situations.
