Hezekiah Rabala Ochuka, (alias Awour) (July 23, 1953 – July 9, 1987) was Senior Private in the Kenya Air Force, who ruled Kenya for about six hours after planning and executing a coup against president Daniel arap Moi.
Hezekiah Ochuka was the centre of the August 1, 1982 attempted coup, which the then president Daniel Arap Moi survived in less than a day.
The 29-year-old was a Grade 1 – the second lowest rank in the military.
Hezekiah was an unapologetic individual who assumed the title of chairman of a so-called "People's Redemption Council" that planned to replace President Moi.
Hezekiah's military knowledge and connections made it manageable for him to form a military heist on the Kenyan Government.
Hezekiah was not successful in his attempt to completely overthrow his homelands government; but he did manage to have control of the whole country of Kenya for six hours.
