Former President Daniel Moi is not dead.
According to family reports, Moi was complaining of breathing problems and was hospitalized at Nairobi Hospital. There are rumours from several quarters that the former President his dead but confirmed reports indicate that he is well and aware of the surrounding.
“The true position is that Mzee Moi is in hospital being attended to by a professional medical team led by his personal physician, Dr David Silverstein. He is alert and conscious of his surroundings,” Mr Lee Njiru, the former Head of State’s press
This is the second time the former President is being hospitalized this year. Moi is approaching 96 years, an age that attracts a number of opportunistic diseases. During his active days, it was rare for him to be hospitalized, he adhered to strict diet and physical exercises. But it seems the body is not responsive to treatment, going by the reports from hospital; one disease may be treated and after being defeated, another on recur—he is now under close monitoring from his doctors and family members.
