KTN News that covered the event exclusively reports that journalists were prevented from broadcasting live the pictures of Kibaki viewing the body of Mzee Moi.
The media house did not divulge why the press was blocked from broadcasting the pictures of Kibaki at Parliament buildings in a day that saw thousand line up to view the body.

It is not clear why journalist as well as KTN News, the only TV station with live coverage from Parliament where Moi’s body was lying-in-state was not allowed to capture the moment as Kibaki arrived to view the body.
While at parliament buildings, the former head of state met Moi’s family members, including sons Gideon (Baringo Senator) and Raymond (Rongai MP) who were around on the second day of public viewing of the body.
Kibaki’s office on Saturday (08Feb 2020) shared photos and videos of the former president signing a condolence book for the deceased former president.
