He said:
Our motherland has lost one of her most valiant generals. The demise of General Ogolla is a painful loss to me.”

Ogolla previously headed the Kenyan Air Force before rising to the position of deputy military chief.

In 2024, Ruto promoted him to lead the military, despite accusations that he had participated in an attempt to overturn the 2022 presidential election results.

Regardless of the accusations, the President maintained that Ogolla was the most qualified person for the job.
