A video of Education CS George Magoha's body language during a rally held at the Kisumu Showground by President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, went viral on Friday, October 23.
In the video, the CS was spotted folding his arms and seemingly staring into space as other leaders vigorously participated in the popular Jerusalema dance challenge.
His counterpart in the Interior Ministry, Fred Matiang'i, who was just a stone throw away, also joined in on the challenge, albeit, out of sync.

Magoha's body language prompted a discussion among Kenyans on social media, with some arguing that the no-nonsense CS was too rigid.
"CS Magoha is a funny man. If minding your own business was a person," Anyamah commented.
"Some people have not a single iota of fun in their lives. Guess they also sleep in suits," Sylvia Mwangi weighed in.
The professor in Medicine and a former Vice chancellor at the University of Nairobi is known for his uptight demeanor and rarely wears a smile in public.
Currently, Magoha is grappling with phased school reopening in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Other leaders who were present during the function included; Kisumu Governor Anyang' Nyongo', Jubilee Secretary General Raphael Tuju, among others.
The Jerusalema dance challenge has gone viral and is influenced by Master KG's hit track 'Jerusalema' featuring Nomcebo Zikode.
Since the original song's release in December 2019, it has garnered 184 million, with corporates around the world trying their shot at the dance challenge.
