Many Kenyans know retired President Daniel Moi as a lonely man.
The ex-head of state, unlike his predecessor Jomo Kenyatta and successors Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta, was always without the company of his first lady throughout his 24-year rule.
However, what most Kenyans don't know is that the aging head of state was single throughout his tenure at the helm of the government.
Moi seperated with his wife Lena in 1974, four years before assuming the presidency.
Having been married in 1950, Moi decided to remain single after the separation.
He went ahead to lead the nation regardless of the situation, setting history as the longest serving head of state.
Lena passed on in 2004 and was buried in Moi's vast Kabarak home. Reports also indicate Mzee said he would like to be laid next to her when the Lord calls him.
Their children include June Moi, John Mark, Philip Moi, Gideon Moi, Jonathan Moi and Raymond Moi.
