Yesterday saw President Uhuru Kenyatta visit Moi, a man he considers as his political mentor at his Kabarak home.
The two had a private meeting where Uhuru conveyed his message of condolence and later assured Moi of his full support since JT was like his brother and a good friend.
Plans to lay Jonathan to rest are already underway.
It has been revealed that Jonathan will be accorded a State funeral with high-profile leaders such as Uganda President Yoweri Museveni expected to attend.
The Moi family is expected to hold its first meeting today, a few hours after Senator Moi jetted back into the country from an official trip.
“From today’s meeting we’ll get a tentative date but it must be convenient to the Head of State and the former President,” said the source.
Senator Moi eulogised his brother earlier, in a statement, as a selfless family man, amiable, social and down-to-earth and an industrious human being.
At Jonathan’s home in Kabimoi, Eldama Ravine, in Baringo county, mourners continued streaming in with many eulogising him as a people’s man, friendly and outgoing.
Jonathan, who gained fame because of his exploits in Safari Rally, was a farmer. He also vied for Eldama Ravine parliamentary seat unsuccessfully in 1997 and 2002 elections. He kept a low-profile thereafter.
Baringo Governor Stanley Kiptis, who visited the home two days ago, said his administration will work with the national government to give JT a befitting send-off, adding that he will be remembered as talented rally driver.
