Former President Daniel Arap Moi was on Sunday, October 13, taken to the Nairobi Hospital for a routine medical check-up, the Daily Nation reported.
Confirming the news, Mzee Moi's press secretary Lee Njiru stated that the former head of state was accompanied by his physician, David Silverstein.
“Yes, l can confirm that Mzee Moi visited The Nairobi Hospital for a routine medical check-up. It is prudent for any human being to undergo regular medical check-ups, so there is nothing to worry about,” stated Njiru.
Reports indicate that the former head of state will spend an unspecified number of days in the hospital to undergo an intensive check-up.
Calls to Dr Silverstein to shed more light on Moi's condition went unanswered by the time of publishing the article.
The news of his medical check-up comes after Moi Day with the former president marking the day quietly in his Kabarak home in the presence of family and friends.
Commemorating the day, his son, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi, implored Kenyans to reflect on the African values that distinguished them from other countries.
"As we observe this year's Moi Day, I want to implore on all Kenyans to reflect on the African values that distinguish us, and bestow upon us our common identity and collective aspirations as a people. Thus, may peace, love and unity continue to reign supreme in our land," he posted on his Facebook page.
This routine check-up is one of many, Mzee Moi has undergone. In December 2018, he was admitted at the Nairobi Hospital for a few nights under the supervision of his physician Dr Silverstein.
Earlier in 2018, Moi flew to Israel for a checkup after developing complications in his knee causing him discomfort.
