Muuga's expertise extends to the operation and management of engineering projects, including water hydraulic modelling, water network design, water treatment plants, and water structures. His educational credentials are equally impressive.
He holds a Master's degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Water Resources from the University of Nairobi and graduated at the top of his undergraduate class with a degree in Civil Engineering from the same institution.
Muuga is also an alumnus of Lenana School, and he attended primary school in Maua, Meru County. Before beginning his engineering career, he briefly taught at Kirindine Secondary School in Meru. His diverse background and technical expertise position him as a promising candidate for the Cabinet Secretary role, promising to bring a new perspective to Kenya's water and sanitation sector.
