Speaking exclusively to The Star about his relationship with Mzee Moi,Silas said,

' I was the last person to give him the Lord's table (sacrament) on Thursday before he died. He was not talking much that day.

He was seated. He gave me his hand when I told him i was leaving.

His face did not appear sick. He was cheerful and AIC are celebrating .'

'He was very religious. He told me he would wake up at 3am to pray.

He carried his Bible to church himself. He never allowed his security to carry his bible.

He also read a bible a lot. When he was coming to church he would come 5 minutes to,he gave us confidence that he was listening to us.

I was 32 when I met him and right now I am 70.'
