Kenyans are mourning the death of former President Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi after he passed away aged 96.

He ruled for 24 years.

Well, here are some of his most famous quotes.

'I said in 1998 that I'll step down after these five years.

But some people did not believe because they think no one relinquishes presidential power in Africa voluntarily.

Power is with the people.'

Another was on how leadership is 'hard' but requires tolerance.

"Leadership requires tolerance. It is not about taking it easy. Sometimes, you'll be abused.

How many times, have I been abused."

In another he fondly said,

'When I looked keenly, I found that its Uhuru Kenyatta who can take over. Yes, the Vice president is my friend, but listen, friendship and leadership are two different things.'

On different occasions he advised Kenyans against bad leadership citing

'Siasa mbaya maisha mbaya,' Daniel Moi.

The above statement is true given the poor quality of lives Kenyans are experiencing thanks to bad political decisions and economic depression.

May Moi rest in perfect peace. Our condolences to his family and friends.
