Attended the burial at sopkoreet earlier in the day. I also took an opportunity to thank the people for their continued support as we continue to steer the development programes within Kinyoro ward. Poleni sana my people for the loss of your loved one, tuko pamoja.
The Government of Kenya is overreacting in its response to the statement by the Catholic Bishops. If the bishops are truthful, take the criticism on board and self correct. If the statement is not true, ignore it and deliver to the people of Kenya... but the stroppy and belligerent response by the government is, in my humble opinion, an own goal.
Senior Service Men/Women training is the initial Command and Leadership Course designed for our Servicemen/women after they complete their basic paramilitary training.
For anyone to qualify for this course, they must have demonstrated leadership skills during the basic training.
Congratulations to Beatrice Chebet and Faith Kipyegon for their outstanding achievements in the 5000M event, securing Gold and Silver medals! This truly showcases Kenya's dedication to nurturing talent. Kudos to Mary Moraa for earning the bronze medal in the 800M as well. Your a
It starts like this. A lone hustler, who has nothing to lose, braving the security cordon to remind the barons that Kenyans are suffering. It starts with a drop. Then a trickle. This might be the first trumpet. Might as well be the last.
It is most unfortunate that the helicopter crash has robbed this nation of fine and dedicated patriots whose ability, professionalism and selfless dedication were self-evident. As a result, the Kenya Defence Forces has lost highly promising officers who still had so much to contribute to the strength, security and glory of our country, together with their leader and commander, General Francis Ogolla.
Over the course of my life in public service, I have had the privilege to meet, interact and work with many outstanding men and women whose achievements and visions represent the best of what Kenya has to offer. I am proud to bear witness that General Francis Ogolla stood head and shoulders among the finest of these exemplary public servants. It has been an extraordinary privilege to work closely with him, to benefit from his wisdom, experience and insights, and to witness him in action, serving his nation with admirable commitment and providing excellent command leadership of the Kenya Defence Forces. I am aware that off-duty, General Ogolla was involved in various services for the benefit of the community, including youth motivation and guidance.
I know that I have already said, and want to say again, that his death is a painful loss to me personally. This is a man I had come to admire very much, one of the best appointments I have made as President. I am certain that I share this profound sorrow with the people of Kenya, and especially those who knew him. I take meagre comfort in knowing that General Ogolla, a veteran commander, airman and soldier, fell in the course of duty, doing what he loved most: Leading his gallant officers to restore order and tranquillity in a deeply troubled part of the country.
There is something profound that the General's life and work teaches us all, and especially those of us called upon to serve the people of Kenya in various capacities. Every day, he demonstrated in his work that his priority was our nation and its people, that he was privileged to have the opportunity to serve and was therefore obligated to do his very best. We do not get many chances to do our best. Neither do we know the day nor the hour of our passing. We have one lifetime and one nation to serve, and we must give our very best always.
To the General's family: You are a reflection of the General's strength, grace and serenity even in the most difficult of times. You have comforted us when we should be comforting you, and encouraged us when we should be encouraging you. In each of you, we glimpse General Ogolla’s best qualities, and know that his spirit lives even though physically he is no longer with us. Thank you for this miraculous example, and may God be with you, bless and comfort you all in a special way according to His divine will.
On behalf of the people and the government of Kenya, I send a message of condolence to the families of all the officers we have lost. We are with you in thought and prayer, and ask the Almighty God to grant you solace as you come to terms with this loss.
@DonaldBKipkorir Are you in agreement with the acts of harassing & subjecting a police officer to retrogression; human torture & dehumanization! Respect is earned Senior, @DonaldBKipkorir
If the next AU commission chair must be a Luo from Kenya, we have many qualified candidates like Retired General Opande and PLO Lumumba. But to try to impose a semi-illiterate senile who will be sleeping in meetings and shame our people and country is a firm NO!
