Daniel Arap Moi, a former president of Kenya who ruled the country with an iron fist between 1978 and 2002, has died. He was 95 years old.
This, as President Uhuru Kenyatta, the current president of Kenya, announced the death of “a great man of an African state.”
In a statement, President Uhuru Kenyatta said that Daniel Arap Moi, a former president of Kenya, died at his family home early Tuesday in Kenya’s west. He added that he ordered a period of national mourning until a state funeral is held.
President Uhuru Kenyatta revived “Moi Day” in honor of the former Kenyan president Daniel Arap Moi after it was scrapped in 2010.
In 2007, a report from Kroll claimed that Moi’s family and group laundered money on a global scale by way of buying properties and companies in London, New York, and South Africa, as well as a 10,000-hectare ranch in Australia. However, Moi was praised for keeping Kenya “a relative haven of peace” during his reign.
