The Appointment of General Francis Ogolla Amidst Controversy
President William Ruto’s recent appointment of General Francis Ogolla as the new Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) has stirred up significant controversy in Kenya. Despite allegations about Ogolla’s attempts to overturn Ruto’s presidential victory, the President stood by his decision, citing Ogolla’s impressive credentials as the primary reason for his appointment.
The Controversy Surrounding Ogolla’s Appointment
Despite Ogolla’s impressive track record in the military, his appointment was met with widespread criticism due to his alleged involvement in a plot to overturn Ruto’s presidential win in August 2022. Critics argue that appointing someone implicated in such a controversy sends the wrong message and undermines the integrity of the office.
However, Ruto defended his decision, stating that while he was aware of the accusations against Ogolla, his qualifications and merits for the position outweighed these concerns. He even shared that he confronted Ogolla about the allegations, who admitted his mistake and accepted any decision Ruto would make regarding his appointment.
“General Ogolla is among the people who went to Bomas to try and overturn my victory, but because when I looked at his CV, he was the best person to be General. Many things that are part of my system outweighed what he had done,” Ruto said.
Ruto’s Decision Against the Advice of Many
President Ruto’s decision to appoint Ogolla was against the advice of many. However, Ruto highlighted that he made the decision consciously, and it was not influenced by any external factors.
“I could have appointed anybody. I had I think 10 choices. People say that I appointed Ogolla because he was the deputy CDF, but that is not the case. I made the decision consciously, and I made it against the advice of many people.”
The Confrontation Between Ruto and Ogolla
Ruto shared details of his conversation with Ogolla regarding the allegations against him, revealing that Ogolla admitted his wrongdoing.
“And when I talked to him, he told me ‘I have no defense, you do with me what you want. What I did was wrong,'” Ruto said.
Despite this admission, Ruto still chose to appoint Ogolla as the new CDF, emphasizing Ogolla’s qualifications and track record in the military.
Criticism from Alego Usonga Member of Parliament Sam Atandi
Sam Atandi, the Alego Usonga Member of Parliament, criticized President Ruto for linking Ogolla to the controversy surrounding the August 2022 election. He argued that such comments tarnish Ogolla’s reputation and cast doubts on his fitness to hold office.
“To discuss the issue of Bomas and link them to General Ogolla, I think that is an error where President Ruto has lost it a bit… This whole issue of Bomas, whether it happened or didn’t happen, we need to move away from it,” Atandi said.
Ruto’s Confidence in Ogolla
Despite the controversy and the criticism, Ruto expressed his confidence in Ogolla during the latter’s swearing-in ceremony.
“You have my confidence and that of the people of Kenya,” Ruto said.
Ruto’s Commitment to Merit Over Nepotism
Ruto’s decision to appoint Ogolla, despite the controversy surrounding him, shows his commitment to merit over nepotism. This decision displays his willingness to appoint the most qualified individuals to positions of power, regardless of their past actions or affiliations.
The Impact of Ruto’s Decision
Ruto’s decision to appoint Ogolla despite the controversy has sparked a debate about the importance of merit and qualifications versus character and past actions in deciding appointments to high-ranking positions. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact Ruto’s presidency and Ogolla’s tenure as the CDF.
Conclusion
While the controversy surrounding Ogolla’s appointment continues to stir debate, Ruto’s decision to stand by his choice sends a clear message about his leadership style and his commitment to meritocracy. As Kenyans continue to discuss the implications of this decision, it is clear that it will be a defining moment in Ruto’s presidency.
