Magoha also ensured a 100 per cent transition to secondary school. He was seen regularly moving from house to house in the slums to ensure pupils who completed primary education joined secondary schools.
In an interview with journalists in August 2022, Magoha hinted at going back to his clinic at the Nairobi Hospital.

"If you have problems passing urine, don't be afraid. You can visit my clinic at Nairobi Hospital. In fact, just show your press card and you might get special treatment," he told journalists.
