Opinion: A CDF dies in a mysterious chopper crash…

Yesterday, the Kenya Defence Force Helicopter crash in the Sindar area of the Elgeyo-Marakwet County, as the CDF Francis Ogolla tragically died with others on the chopper. The CDF died with several of his commanders and civilians, while only 2 other people onboard survived.

When a chopper like this crashes… there are plenty of questions remaining. Many will be open ones that never will be answered. Like who ordered this chopper and was it in order. Was the pilot of the chopper up for the task and had the skills to operate it. Then you can wonder about the maintenance of it and if it was over used.

Now this will be discussed as either an “accident” or an “assassination” attempt. It doesn’t help that the funeral is happening within 72 hours after the crash. There been no post mortem or any sort of document that is revealing the reason for his death. This will make things more hectic and begs even more questions.

We can wonder where is the truth and will that be released? Or is it just like the mysterious death of Joseph Nkaissery in 2017. We never knew what happened to him as a high ranking official who suddenly died.

Now in 2024… there is a need for a proper investigation and give good reasons for the crash. If not… then the conspiracies will live on. Every time a high ranking official dies in a chopper crash. There is questions up in the air. It is like everything is becoming a speculation and hearsay. People start to talk and wonders about motives. Therefore, the authorities has to act right and not be to soft.

I will not have the answers and certainly only get the knowledge that is in the public domain. Until the authorities, the army and the government releases something sincere. There will only speculations or rumours. There won’t be anything truthful or honest about it.

While the matter remain and that several of people died in the crash. We don’t know why and what made it happen. That will be for the future to tell. The story and the reasons for the crash will be known. Unless, the state is silencing it and not wanting to tell. We have seen several of cases which have never been resolved. That could happen here too…

Nevertheless, this is unfortunate and sad. It was tragic and the CDF died mysteriously. That will cause questions and that’s within reason. Peace.
