Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Issues A Statement as CDF Ogolla is Set To Be Buried Tomorrow.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Issues A Statement: Former commander in chief, has mourned the Tragic death of General Francis Ogolla saying he was an outstanding patriot whose leadership, valor, and dedication to duty left a profound mark on both the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the nation of Kenya.
Uhuru stated:
General Ogolla’s untimely demise in a helicopter crash at the Kaben-Cheptulel border between Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot counties, is a significant loss for our nation.
The CDF was not only an accomplished military leader, but also a devoted patriot who dedicated his life to serving and protecting our beloved country. I had the privilege of serving with General Ogolla as Deputy Commander of the Kenya Air Force, Commander of the Kenya Air Force, and finally as Vice Chief of Defence Forces.
During this period of mourning, please accept my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the family, friends, and colleagues of the other officers of the ill-fated flight.
May the memories of these exceptional military officers, who had a profound influence on our nation, bring you comfort and strength in this difficult time.
