Upon the arrival of the General's body, a solemn mass recession will commence, beginning with heartfelt welcoming words, followed by opening prayers, and the reading of the eulogy, all in honor of the late General Ogolla. 

In addition, the government, the military, the church, and representatives of Ogolla's friends will pay their respects. 

Bible readings, a sermon, family prayers, and a vote of gratitude will all be offered before we go to the grave. 


Secretary of State Functions Mike Gitonga has informed the attendees that only those who have been designated will be permitted to travel to the General's funeral.

"So far we have already briefed those who will head to the homestead. It is also a request from the family so kindly let's honor that request," he announced.

"The rest of us we will remain here as it will be live-streamed on the screens in front of us."
