Kenyan Departed Chief of Defence Forces, General Francis Ogolla, has been laid to rest at his home in Ng'iya, Siaya County, as per his wishes.
His burial happened in accordance with his will, which also specified that he be buried without a casket, with his body wrapped in simple sheets.
The family disclosed that Ogolla had chosen a specific burial site. The final rites at the gravesite included three symbolic ceremonies.
The first was the "reveille," a military wake-up call typically played with a trumpet, drum, fife, or bagpipes to signal the start of a new day.
The second was the "last post," a poignant tune that signifies the end of military duty, played to honour a soldier's service.
The third was a 19-gun salute, which is a traditional military honour recognizing the general's nearly 40-year career in the armed forces.
