On Thursday, November 14, 2019, President Uhuru Kenyatta paid a visit to his political mentor, former President Daniel Arap Moi, at the Nairobi Hospital's VIP wing.
According to Lee Njiru, Mzee Moi's Press Secretary, the President spent time with Mzee Moi, discussing various matters and even sharing laughter.
"President Kenyatta on Thursday afternoon visited Mzee Moi at The Nairobi Hospital's VIP wing where he is recuperating and the two had a lengthy discussion interspersed with laughter," read a statement by Mr Njiru.
Mr Njiru further stated that Mzee Moi expressed his gratitude for the President's visit and said he was feeling much better and looking forward to leaving the hospital.
Despite being re-admitted to the hospital just two days after his initial discharge, Mzee Moi's health is reportedly stable, with his family and medical team working to ensure a smooth recovery.
"Mzee Moi will leave hospital as soon as possible once his medical team, led by Dr David Silverstein, allows him to be discharged," Mr Njiru assured.
