Former President Daniel Arap Moi was on Monday discharged from Nairobi Hospital.

Mr Moi was hospitalised last week for a routine medical check-up.

According to a statement from the former president’s press secretary Lee Njiru, Mr Moi is taking a rest at his Kabarnet Gardens residence in Nairobi.

In March this year, President Moi was flown to Tel- Aviv Israel for check-up on his knee.

A statement by the Kenyan Government then said that he was there for a routine medical check-up which was termed as being “successful.”

The statement was issued after word went round that he had passed on.

The former president turned 94 on September, a ceremony which he celebrated in a private function at his Kabarak home in Nakuru County.
