June Moi, Daughter of Former President Moi, Passes Away
Former President Daniel Moi’s daughter, June Moi, has passed away at the age of 60. The family confirmed the news on Thursday, April 11, 2024. However, they have yet to disclose the exact date of her demise.
Following the news, the family has requested that the public give them privacy during this time to mourn their loved one.
The late president’s daughters have over the years managed to stay out of the public eye, despite their father being the most powerful man in Kenya from 1978 to 2002.
June Chebet, Moi’s last-born daughter, was adopted by the late leader at a young age. She attended Nairobi Primary School and later proceeded to Kenya High School for her secondary education.
June later moved to Canada for her university education. With little known about her, she was active in her father’s politics for a short while before shifting to the land and property development business.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing on of our beloved, June Chebet Moi, this morning,” a statement by the family read in part.
At this time of grief, the family expressed their request for prayers and privacy as they come to terms with the tragic loss of their sister. They prayed for her soul to rest in eternal peace.
The late Moi, who served as Kenya’s second president, got married to the late Lena Moi in 1950, who bore him five sons and two daughters.
His other children include Jennifer Chemutai Kositany, Doris Elizabeth Chepkorir, Jonathan Moi, Raymong Moi, Philip Moi, John Mark Moi, and Gideon Moi.
