Retired President Daniel Arap Moi, 95, has been admitted to Nairobi Hospital for a routine medical examination.
According to his private physician Dr. David Silverstein, Moi was taken to the hospital on Sunday evening.
Lee Njiru, Moi's Press Secretary, confirmed the visit, stating that it was a routine medical analysis 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 said.
Published on October 15, 2019, the examination is expected to take a few days before Moi is discharged, a source privy to the matter told Nairobi News.
This is not the first time Moi has visited the hospital for a routine checkup; he was taken to the same facility last December.
In March 2018, Moi was flown to Israel and admitted to a hospital in Tel Aviv for surgery, where he underwent an operation on his knee, which had been troubling him since a car accident in 2006.
