Bishop Yego was Moi’s pastor and spiritual leader.
At the same time, former Prime minister Raila Odinga has called on the political leaders in the country to embrace the late President’s leadership style by putting a side political differences for the unity of the country.
Odinga says that despite great things that Moi did, he also made some mistakes stating that he was one of the detained victims during his tenure but later forgave each other and worked towards uniting Kenyans.
Speaking Tuesday during the Mzee Moi’s state memorial service, Odinga categorically said Building Bridges Initiative-BBI is a replica from the lesson learnt from leadership of the Moi’s forgiving nature.
