President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday made a surprise visit to the Nyayo National Stadium to inspect the ongoing preparations for the funeral service of the late retired President Daniel arap Moi.
The president drove himself from State House to Nyayo National Stadium in black Mercedes Benz to inspect the progress of the preparations for the memorial service which will be held on Tuesday.
There was minimal security in sight as he drove with Chief of Defence Forces Gen Samson Mwathethe.
Moi will be given a military sendoff having been the President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces for 24 years.
On Saturday morning, President Kenyatta, who eulogized Mzee Moi as a great son of Kenya and a champion of Pan-Africanism, led the nation in viewing the body of the late president at Parliament buildings.
Moi’s body will lie in state at Parliament building for public viewing until Monday evening.
His remains will be interred at his Kabarak home beside his late wife, Lena Moi on Wednesday.
