Joel Omondi, the son of the late Chief of Defence Forces Francis Ogolla, made an emotional appeal during his father's memorial service on Saturday, urging military inspectors to make every effort to recover his father's cherished Bible from the wreckage of the helicopter that caused his death.
The son remembered his father as a humble man of faith whose unwavering faith in God extended beyond his illustrious military career.
"Somewhere in that helicopter wreck is his Bible. I am hoping they can retrieve it from the wreck, I would love to keep it as a memento," Omondi expressed during the memorial service.
Reflecting on his father's character, Omondi painted a picture of a man who valued his faith and service over personal accolades and positions of power.
