- Kenya Kwanza MPs want Kalonzo Musyoka to record a statement with DCI over his comments on General Ogolla’s death.
- MP Johannes Ng’eno accuses Kalonzo of spreading baseless allegations.
- Senator Mandago revisits Kalonzo’s 2007 political history to question his credibility.
Kenya Kwanza lawmakers have challenged Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to formally appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations after repeatedly suggesting that the late Chief of Defence Forces Francis Ogolla was assassinated.
Emurua Dikir MP Johannes Ng’eno said Kalonzo’s remarks amount to reckless talk and should not be ignored by authorities. He added that political games based on rumours no longer have space in the country.
“Days of propaganda are over… the DCI should take this matter seriously. These days we deal with evidence,” Ng’eno stated.
Uasin Gishu Senator Jackson Mandago also confronted Kalonzo’s position, recalling his controversial rise to the vice presidency after the disputed 2007 elections.
“If you want to talk about who took out who… then be honest. You knew you lost the election but still accepted to be sworn in at night,” Mandago argued.
According to Mandago, Kalonzo has no moral grounds to lecture anyone on political truth.
Despite growing criticism, Kalonzo has not backed down. Speaking during the funeral of Beryl Odinga, he maintained his position that Ogolla did not die from an accident.
The Wiper leader dismissed the findings of the Kenya Defence Forces autopsy and repeated his demand for an independent investigation into the April 2024 helicopter crash that claimed 10 military officers.
The official report from the Ministry of Defence concluded that the helicopter went down due to a severe engine failure. The investigation highlighted several events before impact: A sudden engine surge, A loud bang, Immediate loss of power Rapid drop in RPM
According to the ministry, these mechanical failures led to the tragic crash.
Kalonzo insists that the explanation offered by the state leaves too many unanswered questions. In April 2025, he argued that the Chief of Defence Forces and the President are among the country’s most protected leaders, making negligence or sabotage a matter of national security.
He also referenced past political friction involving Ogolla and members of the National Security Council, suggesting there might have been hidden motives.
Kalonzo said he is prepared to engage investigators if required, framing his stance as part of a broader push for fairness and social justice.
