Kenya is currently mourning the death of several Kenya Defence Forces officers including the Chief of Defence Force General Francis Ogolla. We received the sad news on Thursday that a chopper crush in West Pokot led to the death of the officers.
Amidst the sombre mood, a video has emerged depicting the day President William Ruto narrated how the late Ogolla tried to overthrow his win after the 2022 General elections.The video is backdated to the televised joint interview with media houses in 2023.
This is the day Ruto revealed that his close cycles did not like Ogolla and they told him not to appoint the general for being part of the group who tried to overthrow his presidential win.But Ruto revealed that when he checked Ogolla’s work history, he found out to be the best person to be appointed as the Chief of Defence Forces under Ruto’s government.
He also revealed that he had ten choices of personnel fit for appointment, adding that he didn’t appoint Ogolla because he was the deputy CDF, but because he made the decision consciously against the will of many.
Ruto also recalled that he called Ogolla and told him my friend you went to Bomas and tried to overthrow my win but I will give you this job.
