Former President Mwai Kibaki on Sunday privately viewed Moi's body at Parliament Buildings.

Mr Kibaki, who succeeded President Moi in 2002, secretly made his way into the precincts of Parliament at around 11.15am.

On standby to receive Mr Kibaki were Moi’s sons Raymond and Gideon (Baringo Senator), and Chief of Defence Forces Samson Mwathethe.
