MOI’S RELATIVE DIES AFTER NIGHT OUT.

Hosea Mundui Kiplagat  who served in President Moi’s government has died at the age of 75 at his home in Karen.
The politician who was also Mzee Moi’s nephew worked closely with the late president and always featured in many of his speeches.

The former Co-operative Bank chairman died at his home in Karen on Friday night.

Reports indicate he was last seen on Friday evening in a jovial mood having a drink with a friend at a members’ club in Lavington.

Kiplagat was Moi’s ear at the height of the Nyayo regime.

He would tell Moi what other leaders were saying about the late president’s leadership and government. And away from politics, he helped Moi in making business and investment decisions.
His ability to work as a mobiliser at the grass root level in Rift Valley earned him a place in Moi’s heart thereby expanding the ex-president’s political career and fame.

Kiplagat’s first job was as a prison warden but transitioned faster into a business which also attracted president Mzee Moi.

In 2003, Mr. Kiplagat public appearance begun to fade away after Kenya’s second President retired.
