Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has expressed sorrow over the passing of Chief of Defence Forces Francis Ogolla. Ogolla, along with nine other officers, tragically lost their lives in a military helicopter accident in Tot, Marakwet East, on Thursday afternoon.

“It is with great sadness that I have learned of the tragic passing of  Ogolla. His 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,” he said.

“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.”

Uhuru said that Ogolla’s leadership, courage, and steadfast dedication to his duties have left a significant mark on both the armed forces and the nation as a whole. “I had the honour of working alongside General Ogolla in various capacities, including as Deputy Commander and Commander of the Kenya Air Force, and later as Vice Chief of Defence Forces,” he remarked.
