Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga has asked the late General Francis Ogolla's family to be open to investigations into the death of the late general.
While addressing mourners at Obama K'Ogello Primary School in Ngi'ya Village, the senator stated that this was not the first time a high-ranking Nyanza official died under such circumstances.
“Even though it was an accident; in this region we've had many such accidents and we've also had assassinations of leaders from this region. So when such things happen we are a bit suspicious not because of anything, but we want to know the truth,” Oburu said.

The Senator also chastised Ogolla's son, Joel Rabuku, for rejecting requests for a probe into the terrible collision.
“We want to ask the General's son (Joel) not to be impatient with us. It's not because of anything it is because once bitten twice shy. We asking for no stones to be left unturned and let us know the truth on who killed General Ogolla,” Oburu stated, recalling how Tom Mboya and Robert Ouko were killed in similar circumstances.
“I was part and parcel of the team that was investigating the death of Ouko. It was very sad because the regime at that time managed to convince the family to be very protective and not allow people to go into details. So young man allow investigators to do their work,” he added.
