Retired President Daniel Arap Moi, 95, was admitted to Nairobi Hospital on Sunday evening for a routine medical examination. He was accompanied by his private physician Dr. David Silverstein.
According to Moi's Press Secretary Lee Njiru, the examination was a precautionary measure and nothing to worry about.
"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 was quoted by Daily Nation.
Published on October 14, 2019, this is not the first time Moi has visited the hospital for a routine checkup. Last December, he was taken to the same facility for a few days.
As reported earlier, in March 2018, Moi underwent surgery in Israel for a knee problem that began in 2006 after a car accident in Limuru.
