Moi out of hospital, sends message to Kenyans

Former President Daniel Arap Moi is back at his Kabarnet Gardens home a week after he was admitted at the Nairobi Hospital for a regular medical check-up.

His handlers had not disclosed how long the former President's stay at the Hospital would be and he seems to have also been discharged quietly.

According to a statement from his Communications liaison Mr Lee Njiru, the former President spent Mashujaa Day in the company of his family and some close friends.

The president's spokesperson also passed along a message for all Kenyans from the former President for the 2019 Mashujaa Day.

"He saluted heroes and heroines whose hard work, courage, patriotism and perseverance have had a great impact on the socio-economic well being of the country and urged Kenyans to emulate them and contribute towards the prosperity of the country," Mr Njiru conveyed.
