Raila visits Moi at his Kabarak home, talk on state of Kenyan nation

ODM leader Raila Odinga on Thursday met with retired president Daniel Moi at his Kabaraka home.

Raila's spokesman Dennis Onyango said the visit followed recent the hospitalisation of the former President in Israel.

"Mr Odinga was visiting to wish the former president well," Onyango said in a press statement on Thursday.

He said the two leaders discussed the state of the Kenyan nation during the visit that lasted more than one hour.

"The former President was strong and in high spirits," Onyango said. 

The ODM leader was accompanied by Mvita MP Abdulswamwad Shariff and Vihiga Senator George Khaniri.

 Raila and his delegation was received by Tiaty MP William Kamket and Moiben MP Silas Tiren on arrival at the Kabarak airstrip. 

"At home, he was welcomed by Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and former MP Nick Salat who ushered him to a meeting with the former President," Onyango said.

The meeting follows a series of others that the NASA chief has been holding with various leaders since his historical handshake with President Uhuru kenyatta on March 9.
