Since his passing on Thursday, Kenyans from all walks of life have paid tribute to Chief of Defence Forces (PDF) General Francis Ogolla in various ways.
Some praised him as an excellent leader, friend, soldier, and someone who gave his all to serve the nation.
The funeral of General Ogolla, a solemn event that will be a testament to his service and dedication, is scheduled to take place at his Mor residence in Alego Usonga on Sunday, April 21. This is an opportunity for all Kenyans to pay their respects.
Following his passing, some Kenyans discovered an old film showing the late General being trained as an Army Air Force Officer when he was younger.
