The family of retired President Daniel Arap Moi has dismissed reports claiming that he is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Nairobi Hospital.
In a statement issued by Moi’s Press Secretary Lee Njiru on Tuesday, the family faulted a section of the media for publishing what it termed as “negative and alarmist” reports about the former president’s health status.
Njiru stated that Moi was under the care of a team of doctors, adding that he is alert and aware of his surroundings
“The true position is that Mzee Moi is in hospital being attended to by a professional medical team led by his personal physician, Dr. David Silverstein. He is alert and conscious of his surroundings,” said Njiru.
“The family is asking the media to, in this regard, publish only the medical bulletins issued through the legally established official channel,” he added.
He added that Moi's family had noted with gratitude the immense interest his hospitalization has generated, both locally and internationally.
"The family is extremely thankful and grateful to all Kenyans and well-wishers from abroad for their prayers and 'speedy recovery' messages."
This is the second time within this month that the 95-year-old has been taken to Nairobi Hospital. He was first admitted on October 13th and discharged about a week later after his doctors gave him a clean bill of health.

Not looking good for this paranoid old criminal. The family needs to quit acting like he's being robbed in life if they say he was in icu.
kenyans remember that on his last day in office they threw mud and stones at him. That was his send off. We Kenyans know him.
Wish my former mp and president quick recovery and God health him.
the family should stop acting in astupid way as if uo mzee akikufa n makosa.....ata uo nan anamjua apart from ii Kenya......myb hata anaish maisha ya wengnee akuende uko
Sometimes it’s best to stop hallucinations. I am confused who truly be concerned internationally.. only political person I recall that generated interest around the world was Princess Diana. I don’t think Moi would come anywhere close to that. I beg Lee njiru to stop providing us with alternative facts..
