The Kenya Defense Forces (KDF) announced that the diamond Jubilee event will commemorate KAF’s 60-year journey, highlighting its contributions to aviation development in Kenya, service to humanity, and historic milestones up to 2024. Established on June 1, 1964, the KAF traces its origins back to the East African Royal Air Force (EARAF) during World War II when Kenya served as a strategic base for Allied air operations. “As we commemorate this significant milestone, we honor the legacy of our predecessors who laid the foundation of what the Kenya Air Force is today,” she said. Maj. Gen. Fatumah urged current KAF personnel to uphold core values of integrity, discipline, and dedication in their duties.
