“He was an amiable, social and down-to-earth and industrious human being.” This is part of the message from Baringo Senator Gideon Moi as he mourned the demise of his elder brother Jonathan Toroitich.
Jonathan passed away in Nakuru on Friday. According to Moi’s Press Secretary Lee Njiru, the family will give a detailed report on Sunday.
Gideon Moi said that his brother “will be remembered for his daring exploits in the racing tracks, in muddy and dusty tracks, during this time of Easter.”
Several sources have revealed that Jonathan succumbed to cancer related complications.
The Baringo Senator described his brother as an amiable, social and down-to-earth and industrious human being.
“We are distraught as a family and we ask for your prayers and seek your understanding and indulgence to allow us to mourn privately,” he said in a statement sent to newsrooms.
Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula described Gideon as a generous, humble and friendly person.
Safari rally enthusiasts celebrated Moi as one of the best drivers in Kenyan history.
Some Kenyans wondered how Moi would have a famous son, who was not interested in politics.
