Deputy President William Ruto on Friday set out to condole with the family of the Turkana plane crash pilot.
The pilot, Captain Mario Magonga, was last week flying a helicopter that crashed in Turkana. The pilot was on board with four Americans, who also perished.
Captain Magonga, was not just any other pilot to Ruto as he was also his personal pilot.
The Deputy President therefore went out of his way to personally visit Magonga’s family in Karen, Nairobi.
“Captain Mario Magonga was an accomplished, disciplined and reliable pilot, who loved his job. He was friendly, humble and given to banter. Captain Magonga was charitable, intelligent and had impeccable credentials. He will be sorely missed,” said Ruto of the fallen pilot.
