Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Memorial

Daniel arap Moi served Kenya as its second president for more than two decades, a tenure that remains the longest in the nation's history. Before assuming the presidency, he held the role of vice president for over a decade, appointed to the position by President Jomo Kenyatta. Born in the Rift Valley region, Moi began his career as a teacher. He later moved into politics, representing the Rift Valley in the Legislative Council and playing a part in discussions leading to Kenya's independence constitution. He also played a significant role in the country's early political landscape, founding a political party that eventually merged with President Kenyatta's. His long political career saw him rise from educator to national leader.
