Kenya’s Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) General Francis Omondi Ogolla will today be laid to rest at his home in Mor Village, Siaya County.
Ogolla, the first CDF to die in office since independence, was killed in a plane crash that occurred on Thursday, April 18, 2024 in Sindar Area, Elgeyo Marakwet County.
The crash claimed the lives of 9 other officers who accompanied the General in an official tour of a bandit-stricken North Rift region.
On April 28, 2023, President William Ruto appointed Ogolla Kenya’s military boss in accordance with the ‘Tonje Rules,’ a rotational mechanism that governs the selection of the CDF.
