Gideon, in a Facebook post on Friday, also expressed gratitude to Kenyans for their messages of solidarity and love during the time Moi was hospitalized.

He noted that the retired head of state has made full recovery and is currently well.

''I wish to sincerely thank all Kenyans for the prayers, messages of solidarity, love and support. Your prayers worked. Mzee was treated and discharged,'' said Gideon in the post.

The second and longest serving President flew to Israel on Sunday March 11 for medical check ups, after developing knee complications. 

The knee had been operated one a year ago.

Moi was discharged from Tel-Aviv's Ichilov Hospital on Thursday, with his family revealing that he is currently using the medical trip to also tour some of the nation's historical sites.

He is expected back in the country soon.
