TRIBUTES

It is with profound sadness and sorrow that I announce the passing of aGreat African Statesman,
H.E. Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, the Second President ofthe Republic of Kenya. His Excellency the Former President passed on at the NairobiHospital on the early morning of this 4th February, 2020 ; in the presence of his Family.
Our nation and our Continent were immensely blessed by the dedication and service of the Late Mzee Moi; who spent almost his entire adult life serving Kenya and Africa in a number of capacities. The Late Mzee Moi served us as an Educator, a Teacher, a Legislator, Member of Parliament, a Cabinet Minister, the Vice-President and finally as the President of the Republic of Kenya.

As a teacher-evangelist who improbably and reluctantly entered political leadership and excelled in it, Mzee had no time to prepare or learn outside the job. His genuine concern, selflessness, loyalty and sincerity however, enabled him to acquire staying power and attract the support of millions of patriots.

I am grateful for the time I spent with him. At this moment of mourning, our hearts and prayers are with the family and the entire Moi clan.

Former President, Daniel Moi’s contribution to stability and peace in Kenya is undeniable. I have received his death with a heavy heart, and I share the burden of this grief with his family and relatives. May his soul rest in peace.

Today, one of Kenya’s icons has bowed and transitioned to the next world – His Excellency former President Daniel Arap Moi. I convey my deepest condolences to his immediate family and all Kenyans for this loss. May God rest his soul in eternal peace.
