Even with the Former president Daniel Moi’s body lying in State for the second day, the iconic leader has not been spared the beauty of being handsome in his sleep.
As Kenyans prepared to view his body for the first time in Parliament on Saturday, Moi wore a grey suit, brown shoes, white shirt and a colorful tie.
On the second day, Moi who was sleeping peacefully at Parliament buildings, wore new black suit, white shirt with red neck tie and black shoes.
It is not clear where the Saturday’s attire will be taken, but it might be kept in his mausoleum in future.
