Moi’s family members who never take alcohol received financial support from him.
He said Mzee Moi could recognise his grandchildren during the family gathering.
As Kenyans continue to pay tribute to Kenya's second President Daniel arap Moi, who passed away on Tuesday at the Nairobi Hospital, his grandson has revealed what their grandfather hated most.
“Our grandfather [Moi] was not amused by any family member who was drunk. No family member would dare step into his house while drunk during the annual family gathering,” said Gerald Kipkosgei, a son of the former president’s second-born son, the late Jonathan Moi.
