I have learned with shock and disbelief of the passing on of Prof. George Magoha, a short while ago.
He'll be remembered as a focused professional in his field, and a candid stickler for discipline and efficiency in institutional leadership and management. He'll be sadly missed. pic.twitter.com/ZEE8UCOUlZ
