Former President Daniel arap Moi has been a patient at the Nairobi Hospital for over a month, with his press secretary, Mr. Lee Njiru, confirming that he is recovering steadily.
On November 9, Mzee Moi was readmitted to the hospital's VIP wing, just two days after being discharged. This was his third hospitalization in the last two months, following initial admission on October 12 and readmission on October 28.
Mr. Njiru stated that Mzee Moi's medical team is being cautious with his care, ensuring a full recovery. He expressed gratitude to Kenyans for their prayers, saying, "Since Mzee Moi was readmitted to the hospital, he is getting better each day and we are confident God is taking care of him because of Kenyans' prayers. We are very hopeful that in the next few days, he will be discharged to return to the care and comfort of his home."
Despite the progress, Mr. Njiru noted that the doctors have yet to decide on the date of discharge. Mzee Moi, who ruled Kenya for 24 years from 1978 to 2002, celebrated his 95th birthday on September 2.
