An analyst has lifted the lead on what President Uhuru Kenyatta had gone to assure former President Daniel Moi when he visited Kabarak on Saturday.
According to Joel Soi, Political Science lecturer at the Maasai Mara University, there are high chances that Uhuru passed by Kabarak to assure the former Commander in Chief that his support for his son and Baringo Senator Gideon Moi in his quest to become Kenya's fifth President is still intact.
"I can guess that he may have gone to seek goodwill from the former President," Soi said as quoted by a leading local daily.
"Power attracts power. The two families (Moi and former President Jomo Kenyatta) may have chosen to work together."
Uhuru visited Moi at his Kabarak home on Saturday, the second time since the former President returned from Israel from where he had gone to seek treatment.
Speculation was rife when Uhuru made his first visit to Kabarak that perhaps the Head of State is planning to support Daniel Moi's son Gideon Moi for the presidency in 2022 at the expense of Deputy President William Ruto.
Gideon Moi is a close political friend to Uhuru and the two are said to enjoy a cordial relationship that began a long time ago when they were still young.
