Kabarnet, a small urban centre in Baringo Central held a special place in the life of former President Daniel Moi, who died in Nairobi on Tuesday aged 95.

It is here in Kabarnet that Mzee Moi spent his time with residents through out his reign and had himself a place to spend a night whenever he was around.
