    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to grieve with the family and friends of General Ogolla. I want to confirm that I have been a very close and personal friend to him, having worked together at an early age as an officer of the Kenya Air Force. I first met him in 1992 while I was training as a pilot at the Kenya Air Force Flying Training School, and he was training there as an instructor pilot at the same time in the same school. I want to confirm that he was a very decent and honourable general of the Kenya Air Force. As we have all been told by his family and friends, he was a very religious general. At the same time, he was a commander par excellence and a decorated fighter pilot during our time in the Air Force. May the souls of General Ogolla and his colleagues, including a fellow by the name of Col. Duncan Keittany, whom we trained as a cadet officer and a pilot in the Kenya Air Force at the same time, rest in peace. After the unfortunate incident of 15th August 2022, I had a cup of tea with General Ogolla. I asked him what had happened. He told me this: ''Barrow, you have known me since our time at the Kenya Airforce, and you know very well that I cannot do anything that would jeopardise the peace and the security of our country.” May General Ogolla and the rest of the officers who perished in the same aircraft rest in peace. Thank you very much."
