Retired President Daniel Arap Moi's health status has been the subject of speculation, with some reports claiming he is in a critical condition.
However, his family has come out to deny these claims, stating that he is under the care of a team of doctors at Nairobi Hospital.
According to a statement issued by Moi's Press Secretary Lee Njiru on Tuesday, the family is asking the media to only publish medical bulletins issued through the official channel.
"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," said Njiru.
On October 13th, Moi was first admitted to Nairobi Hospital, but was discharged a week later after receiving a clean bill of health.
His family has expressed gratitude for the interest generated by his hospitalization, both locally and internationally.
