The late Moi was President Kenyatta’s mentor and endorsed him for his first presidential run on an independence party KANU ticket in 2002 where he lost to retired President Mwai Kibaki.

Moi died at Nairobi Hospital on February 4, 2020 at the age of 95 and is believed to have been suffering from Alzheimer's disease and was later hospitalised for multiple organ failure.
