Aaron Cheruiyot praised the late General as a dedicated soldier who led by example.”He was an active sportsman and dedicated to his work. Our training here at Ulinzi was courtesy of the General who granted us access to this facility. We always found him on these grounds as early as 5:45 a.m running 10 laps together with his soldiers. By the time we arrived here at 6 a.m, he was almost halfway through his session,” The Kericho County Senator said. “We will dearly miss his presence on these grounds. May God comfort his family and Kenya at large,” added Otiende who concurred with the Majority Leader on the need for a full investigation to establish what transpired leading to the crash.Bunge FC is currently training at the Ulinzi Complex as they prepare for the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) Games, which Kenya will host later this year.Nzoia coach clings to false hopes as relegation axe looms
