Reports indicate that Annan died on Saturday morning while receiving treatment in Geneva Switzerland.

Annan was the first black African to serve as the UN secretary-general.

He later served as the UN special envoy for Syria, leading efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.

Annan will be remembered by Kenyans for his role in ending the 2007/2008 post-election violence.

He led negotiations between ODM leader Raila Odinga and PNU's Mwai Kibaki following the disputed polls.

The talks resulted in the Grand Coalition government.
