“Kohadha Roy Ogolla A TRUE CHAMPION OF DEMOCRACY; I MOURN YOU!! Am still coming to terms with ROY KOHADHA OGOLLA â€˜s death. I recount our very last moments with him at Kaputei Kitengela on 12th December 2013. Roy was a happy man, himself as always, and was very jovial that particular day. We talked, and together with the rest, we shared a meal, and when it was time to leave, he gave me a warm hug and said bye Lydia,catch ya next time. I canâ€™t say more and So that was the last time I would see Roy Alive.Roy becomes a statistic of the deaths caused by road accidents, such that claimed the life of this Smart promising Kenyan.
Rest In Peace Buddy.â€œLuos donâ€™t loose , they postpone their victoryâ€ those were your words in the very last hour of our meeting”

“Roy Ogolla Kohadha literally walked Into my private offices without an appointment for a job he confessed he didnt have papers for!neither did he have a sound formal education he further told me! He just wanted to be an investigative journalist! He convinced me to give him a chance and I did. The Editor for my publication, needed more convincing, I did that on behalf of Roy.The guy was a genious! He didnt let me down.He was rebelious by nature as witnessed when he was arrested twice both ending at kilimani cop station.After i intervened for his release, The OCPD called to ask whether i knew the man who has refused to identify himself and yet i wanted him released! I said yes to the amazement of the officer.Like Mandela Roy demanded unconditional release.To cut the long story short! We met last at KNT where he reminded me i owe him a drink together with Adhiambo opondo,Here was a man who lived his life with determination to change things and was ready to pay the price.A very sad,tragic and untimely death of yet another talented & promising young Kenyan.R.I.P Kohash!”

“Just a thought:The death of one of the very furious bloggers Kohadha Roy Ogolla is a blow to the blogging fraternity.I never got to meet him in person but we met in our virtual fora with great incisive discourse.Its still early to speculate,however as it is now his death could not have just been natural.As bloggers we salute his courage and forthrightness,he dared to face one Mike Sonko to the extent of asking ‘Is sonko above the law’…..In this life its never too soon to go…he did his part artistically diligently and quoting from the art world (that he so deeply loved)… the father of modern art(Paul Cezanne) said ‘we live in a rainbow of chaos'”

“I have so many questions to ask. Is there anybody with the wreckage of the car in which Roy Ogolla Kohadha died? Who were the other occupants?

Once I get answers to this, I will ask my next question.”

Antony Oyugi

“ROY KOHADHAS DEATH-post mortem shows internal bleeding and liver damage…so I ask……where is the wreckage?any pictures of the same?whats the name of the woman he is reported to have been with him in the car?her name?at what point did she call his relatives and where did they find him?at the scene or at KNH?is there anybody who saw them at that church function and would tell us what time they left and with whom he left the function?WE ARE DEMANDING ANSWERS”
