George Magoha, the Education Cabinet Secretary, has become a subject of fascination on Kenyan Twitter, and it's not because of his work in the education sector. The 69-year-old's stern demeanor and impeccable suits have captured the attention of many, with some even wondering who his tailor is and what makes them so special.

On Mashujaa Day, Magoha was spotted attending a ceremony in Kirinyaga, where he was joined by fellow government officials. As usual, Kenyans took to Twitter to comment on his suit, with some even suggesting that his tailor is the only person who dares to defy Magoha's authority.

One Twitter user joked that Magoha's tailor must be arrested and tried via a military tribunal, while another user suggested that the only person who humbles Magoha is his tailor. The jokes and memes have been flooding Twitter, with many users sharing their own theories about Magoha's tailor.

It's worth noting that Magoha's tailor has become a recurring joke on Kenyan Twitter, with some users even suggesting that they share a tailor with other high-profile individuals, including Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.

While the jokes may be lighthearted, they do highlight the fascination that many Kenyans have with Magoha's suits and his tailor. Whether or not the jokes are meant to be taken seriously, they do add to the humor and entertainment value of Kenyan Twitter.
