    "content": "On reference to Prof. Magoha, the country and, indeed, this House, needs to register its appreciation because of his professional conduct, in saying that he had to recuse himself from that particular case because the doctor involved was his son. If he had not declared his interest, the country would have never known that it was his son we were dealing with. At no point did Prof. Magoha or his son advertise that he was a son of a renowned surgeon and as such he needed to be there to operate on that patient. At no point was that never canvassed. So, it is bad for us to use the Floor of this House to bash a career of such a person, especially the person of Prof. Magoha, when we know that he did not elect himself the chair of the board. It was because of his competence that he was elected by his peers to assume that position. Further, we have forgotten that when we were suffering, as a nation, due to mismanagement of the education sector, he was called upon to team up with Cabinet Secretary Matiang’i and sort out the integrity issues that were eating up our examination system. Today we celebrate that we are back on track. Indeed, we now talk of Matiang’i/Magoha exams."
