Moi was on Sunday, March 11 flown to Ichalov Hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel, accompanied by his personal physician Dr. David Silverstein and his son, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi.

He was scheduled to undergo a specialised assessment of his knee, which was reported to have been causing him discomfort.

He then spent the rest of the day visiting some holy sites in Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
