I am Not Moi’s Son, Lee Njiru Says After Kenyans Claim They Resemble

Lee Njiru has dismissed rumors claiming that he is a biological son of late former President Daniel Arap Moi, who passed away on Tuesday aged 95.

A section of Kenyans on social media noticed that there was a striking resemblance between Moi and Njiru, raising questions whether the two could be related by blood.

Appearing on Citizen TV’s JKL show on Wednesday night, Njiru, who had served as Moi’s press secretary for 42 years, dismissed the theories noting that he looked more like Moi’s younger brother and not a son.

“I was born in 1949 in Embu, Mzee Moi had not been to Embu during that time. I look like a younger brother not like a son…” said Njiru.

Njiru further jokingly told show host Jeff Koinange: “Yes, lets to a DNA, or 1000 DNA’s and if it is said I’m Moi’s son, then I can claim something.”

During the show, Njiru stressed that Moi died aged between 102 and 103, and not 95 as his national identity card indicates.

“I will confirm this to you, Mzee had told me not to look at his ID card, I want to correct you, Moi was between 102 and 103-years-old not 95-years-old like everyone is saying,” Njiru said earlier.

“Ukitaka kuhesabu miaka ya Moi, tunahesabu hizi, 1936, na hiyo imeandikwa huko Kapsabet, alitumwa na wazungu kupeleka ng’ombe wa kike kilomita 100 hadi Kapsowar… alifikisha na akapewa shilingi mbili akanunua bibilia. Wakati huo, kijana hangetumwa na wazee kama hajatahiri, kwa hivyo alikua ametahiri 1936 and he was big bodied ndio akapewa hiyo jukumu ndio asikue molested by cattle rustlers. Kama angezaliwa 1924 vile kipande inasema, he would have been 12…”

“Mtu kama Charles Njonjo anajua alizaliwa 1920 sababu baba yake alikua chief na aliandika. Mtu kama Jeremiah Nyaga, alizaliwa 1920 maanake baba yake alikua pastor na aliandika, mzee Moi hakuna mtu aliandika…,” he added.

Njiru, there every likelihood that you were sired by Moi. You can't know because you were not there. Tips. Almost headmistresses of high schools, especially those that were named after Moi, were his mistresses. My college lecturer was one of them, and when she got a man, Moi attended her wedding. A governor in a Rift Valley county whose mother was a headmistress in Nyakiambi Girls, was one of them. Guess who among rift valley governors resemble Moi, or the late Jonathan Moi? Start scratching your. Most of these headmistresses or as they now called principals divorced their husbands for the the big money. Strange how God designed life on this world. Strange how God wrath operates. Strange how Moi thought he had been assisted in beating justice by akina Kibaki and Uhuru, only to die a painfully slow death. Why? Because you don't mix earthly stuff with heavenly goodies. Rabuka anahakikisha kwamba anakuchovya chovya na anakuchuja chuja kiasi kwamba unachobaki nacho ni unyenyekevu na ubure birashi kiwango mzoga au cha mafi ya kuku. Kumbuka visanga ambavyo Moi alivitenda. Pengine katika miezi hio minne alipokuwa mahututi, marehemu Moi alikuwa akiwaomba radhi haswaa familia ya Matiba, Ouko, waliobandikwa korokoroni, mali ya umma alioiba na kupora bila aibu, na ambayo kwayo hayakuzuia apone wala asife. Ulimwengu huu ni wa mastajabu. Ukiweza tenda wema kwa wanadamu. Kuna wengi dunia hii ambao kila kuchao, miaka nenda miaka rudi, wanawaumiza wenzao kwa njia mbali mbali. Huku wakifiria uwezo wao utawaokoa kutoka midhiri na makucha lawama, wanakumbubwa na maradhi na majanga yasioeleweka. Wakati huu wajinga wanatumia fursa hii ya kifo cha jabali hili kumtukuza kama alivyozoea akiwa KANU, badala ya kumkashifu, kumkemea, na kumdhihaki. Watazame wote waliowatendea Wakenya vitendo vya kiimla...vya kinyama> Wako wapi William Ole Ntimama, Sharriff Nassir, Bargetuny, Kibor, Sumbeiw0, Biwoott, Ruto, Lotondo, Kamangara, Kones, Laboso, Tipis, Kamotho, Kongo, Gumo, na wengineo? Naiomba rohowe Moi iteketee katika moto wa jehanamu bila kuzimika.
