Kalonzo Musyoka reminisces moments surrounding CDF Francis Ogolla visit to Bomas during 2022 elections
Kalonzo Musyoka reminisces moments surrounding CDF Francis Ogolla visit to Bomas during 2022 elections.
Speaking during an interview on Thursday evening, Kalonzo encouraged Kenyans to remain strong and calm and give the leaders time to resolve and ascertain facts surrounding the tragic accident.
“My heart is with the families of the affected soldiers and servicemen, it is a tragedy of unknown proportion,” Kalonzo stated.
Reminiscing the 2020 general elections, the Wiper Party leader claimed that the late Ogolla was appointed as the head of the Defence Forces in line with the Military ‘Tonje Rules’ and not other speculated reasons.
“If Kenyans can remember exactly what happened after the 2022 general elections, that the general who was a member of the national security team was dispatched along with his colleagues to the Bomas of Kenya which is a normal thing, but brought about a lot of criticism,”
“If it was not for the Tonje rules, he would not have become the general,” Kalonzo added.

Kalonzo further urged the government to expeditiously speed up the investigation into the incident, as the country has never reported the death of a CDF in the line of work.
“We expect answers on what exactly happened so that you can end up with a fallen Chief of Defence Forces,” he stated.
Citing the rampant banditry attacks in the West Pokot and Marakwet regions, the former vice president questioned the cause of the aircraft crash.
“Kenyans want to know if this was an attempt to eliminate the general, or was it a bandits’ shot that took him down? Because if it was we can’t be losing to bandits,” he added.
