President Uhuru Kenyatta on Monday visited his political mentor, former President Daniel Moi, to deliver his personal condolence message.
On arrival at Kabarak, Uhuru was received by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and signed the condolence book.
President Kenyatta then went into a private meeting with Moi where he promised the government's full support in the burial of Jonathan Moi.
The Head of State eulogised Moi's son as a humble, generous and courageous man, who was always dependable. He also termed him a brother and friend.
Uhuru prayed to the almighty Lord to rest the departed soul in eternal peace. Mzee Moi then thanked President Kenyatta for grieving with the bereaved family.
The president was accompanied by West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo, Baringo Deputy Governor Jacob Chepkwony, Tiaty MP William Kamket, Baringo Central MP Joshua Kandie, Kanu Secretary General Nick Salat, former Kanu Nominated Senator Zipporah Kittony and former Eldama Ravine MP Musa Sirma who also visited Moi to condole with him.
The visit was special because on Sunday, the family through spokesperson Lee Njiru, had communicated that Moi would not be receiving mourners at his home.
"The family with heavy hearts wishes to inform all our friends that our patriarch Mzee Moi may not be able to personally receive those wishing to offer their condolence.
"This inevitable stand does not in any way lessen our gratitude dear friends. Please understand us,” Njiru's statement read.
Jonathan passed away on Friday at a Nakuru hospital where he had been admitted. It is reported that he succumbed to cancer.
