Raila Odinga-led Azimio la Umoja One Kenya has called for a parliamentary inquiry into the helicopter crash that killed Chief of Defence Forces General Francis Ogolla and nine other soldiers last Thursday.

The opposition also demanded a judicial inquest into the accident, faulting the ongoing investigations by the Kenya Air Force (KAF), as directed by President William Ruto, as it was "closed to civilians."
