Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga has raised concern over the state of helicopters and equipment being used in the security sector after Chief of the Defence Forces Francis Ogolla’s death.

In a statement on Friday, April 19, Raila noted that there have been several near-death encounters with security helicopters.

“I wish to pose a challenge to the government. There has been long-running concern about the state of helicopters and other equipment being used by our security sector. Many near-death encounters have occurred with the security aircrafts. We may never know what exactly brought down the helicopter in which the general died,” said Raila.

The ODM leader challenged the government to relook into the security equipment, conduct a serious overhaul and modernize the aircrafts.

“It is our prayer that this tragedy may mark the beginning of a serious relook into our security equipment, especially the aircrafts with a view to undertaking a complete overhaul and modernization of the equipment. That was the General’s vision,” Raila remarked.

“The government owes this country a thorough, professional, and transparent investigation into this death.”

Further, Raila called on the government to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation to uncover the cause of the crash that claimed General Ogolla’s life.

“More importantly, the government owes this country a thorough, professional, and transparent investigation into this death. Only such an investigation will put the family and the whole nation at peace. May the General and his departed colleagues rest in peace,” the ODM leader added.
