Former President Daniel arap Moi, 95, has been admitted to Nairobi Hospital for a routine medical check-up, according to his Press Secretary Lee Njiru.

On Sunday evening, Moi was taken to the hospital accompanied by his physician, Dr David Silverstein, for a check-up.
"Yes, I can confirm that Mzee Moi visited the Nairobi Hospital for a routine medical check-up. It is prudent for any human being to undergo regular medical check-ups, so there is nothing to worry about," Njiru said.
According to a source, Moi is expected to spend a few days in the hospital to allow doctors more time with him.
This is not the first time Moi has been taken to hospital in the recent past. Last December, he was admitted to the same hospital for a routine medical examination and was discharged days later with a clean bill of health.
