General Francis Ogolla will be buried within 72 hours of his death.
Netizens are asking questions about the swift burial plans for the late Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Francis Ogolla, who passed away at the age of 62. He is scheduled to be laid to rest at his Ng’iya home in Alego Usonga on April 21, as confirmed by his family. However, many wonder why the rush.
It turns out that General Ogolla had left behind a will specifying his desire to be buried within 72 hours of his passing. This instruction has prompted officials, including the military, to work diligently to fulfill his wishes.
The state has taken charge of the funeral proceedings because General Ogolla was in office at the time of his death. Alongside him, nine other military personnel also lost their lives in a tragic helicopter crash during a peace mission in the North Rift region.
The cause of the crash remains unknown, and a team of experts has been dispatched to investigate. Meanwhile, the bodies have been transported to Nairobi for preservation and identification.
General Ogolla leaves behind a grieving family, including a widow, two children, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson.
His military career spanned several decades, marked by various command and leadership roles, earning him prestigious awards for his dedication and service to the nation.
Despite the suddenness of his passing, General Ogolla’s legacy as a respected military leader and his contributions to Kenya’s defense forces will be remembered and honored by many.
