Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has ignited significant concerns following the tragic death of CDF Francis Ogolla, raising a series of probing questions that demand answers. The untimely demise of such a prominent figure within the Kenyan Defense Forces (KDF) has left many puzzled and seeking clarity.
In a poignant statement, Babu Owino laid out critical questions that delve into the circumstances surrounding CDF Ogolla’s death. These questions not only reflect the MP’s desire for transparency but also resonate with the broader public’s call for accountability and understanding.
The first question raised by Babu Owino is: Where were the key figures responsible for the CDF’s security and protection? Questions surrounding the presence of the West Com Commander, Defense Forces Sgt Major, and Army Commander highlight the importance of robust security protocols during such operations.
Furthermore, concerns about the use of transportation and security measures are brought to light. Why was a single helicopter utilized for such an important mission without adequate escort or security detail? The absence of a helicopter escort and the composition of the entourage raise pertinent inquiries regarding safety and protocol.
The choice of who accompanied CDF Ogolla on this mission is also questioned. Why were junior officers the only company he had during this critical visit? The rank of the helicopter pilot and the protocols for inspecting troops in operational areas are among the many queries put forth by Babu Owino.
Additionally, questions surrounding the standard procedures for a CDF’s visitation to operational sites and the recent changes within the KDF that may have played a role in General Ogolla’s sudden demise are central to the investigation.
Babu Owino’s concerns underscore the necessity for a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading up to CDF Ogolla’s passing. The public awaits answers to these pertinent questions, which are crucial not only for closure but also for ensuring the safety and security of Kenya’s defense leadership in the future.
As the nation mourns the loss of CDF Francis Ogolla, it is imperative that these questions be addressed with transparency and urgency. Until then, the hearts of many will continue to ache for clarity and resolution in this tragic event.
