How Uhuru, Raila received Moi death news
President Uhuru Kenyatta was telephoned by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi to break news of his father’s death.
The last born of Mzee was overheard telling the head of state Mzee is no more over the phone.
Apart from Uhuru, Gideon is also said to have called ODM leader Raila Odinga breaking the news.
Uhuru and Raila are on their tour in the US.
Gedion Moi happened to have been at Mzee’s bedside as he passed on with a number of family members and doctors.
Immediately, it was a beehive of activities as Uhuru called interior CS Fred Matiangi, head of public service Joesph Kinyua, PS Karanja Kibicho, Chief of General staff Samson Mwathethe, DCI boss George Kinoti and head of NIS major General Phillip Kameru.
It was then Uhuru ordered proclamation to be written to make public announcement as protocol dictates.
After Uhuru made proclamation Matiangi and the group then moved to the Nairobi hospital and Gideon was allowed to address the public on behalf of the family through a speech prepared by the government security team.
