    "content": " Let me join my colleagues in extending my condolences and those of the entire Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Parliamentary Group to the immediate family, friends and relatives of the late General Francis Omondi Ogolla. It was unfortunate that I was unable to attend the funeral of the fallen general due to unavoidable circumstances. All the same, General Ogolla was someone I personally knew. In the time that I interacted with him, he came out clearly as a person who was down to earth. That is the only thing I can say about him. It is a virtue that we may want to emulate and inculcate in our leaders, especially Members of Parliament. That positions, power, influence, and prestige do not matter. What matters is how you relate with fellow human beings and, more importantly, how you relate with your creator, the Almighty God. Let me also say this; as we mourn General Ogolla, we must also not forget his nine other fallen colleagues. One of his fallen colleagues, Maj. George Benson Magondu was married to one of my constituents, Capt. Brenda Okello. Therefore, as a constituency of Ugunja, we have incurred a terrible loss. We only pray to Almighty God to rest their souls in eternal peace. However, we must also insist on unearthing the root cause of that accident. We owe it not only to the fallen soldiers but also to their families and Kenyans in general. We must do whatever it takes to establish what caused their deaths. I am told it is not a normal occurrence for generals to die just like that. My friend, Bashir, can tell you. Generals do not just die like that. Therefore this country needs to be told what or who killed General Ogolla and his colleagues. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
