Daniel arap Moi was buried yesterday at his Kabarak home in accordance with military traditions and honours accorded to a former Commander-in-Chief.

The military played the Last Post, a haunting song that was first played in 1862 during the American Civil war. Ten pallbearers with the rank of colonel escorted Moi’s body to his grave.
