The late Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) General Francis Ogolla’s son Joel Rabuku Omondi on Friday, April 19 revealed that his father prepared them for his death by how he handled emotional situations.
Rabuku boldly appealed to mourners not to be sad but to celebrate even in his father’s demise.
“I am seeing very many sad faces but General would just be wondering what people are sad about, especially since he has prepared us for this day for a long time, and you guys should look a bit happier because we as a family are leaning on his faith, on our faith, and that of Jesus Christ which was his cornerstone for everything,” Rabuku said.
The courageous Rabuku went on to remember his father as a cheeky person, especially during times when he was in the company of his sister Peris.
Rabuku lightly told mourners that even in his death, General Ogolla is still wearing a smile as he looks down on them, which comforts the family.
“General is in a good place. I got to see him yesterday and today as I was going to get his belongings. Those of you who know General and his sister Peris, they had a cheeky smile and I can tell you that he is resting right now with a cheeky smile on his face…msivurute sura sana na yeye in death anashangaa what is the issue. It is going to be well for us,” he stated.
