Moi funeral procedure

The proclamation by President Uhuru Kenyatta that Daniel Torotich Arap Moi will be buried in full civilian and military honours has set in motion elaborate and complex funeral procedures that will only be witnessed for the second time in Kenya’s history.

On Tuesday Mr Kenyatta ordered that “as an expression of public sorrow the flag of the Republic of Kenya shall be flown at half-mast at State House, State lodges, all public buildings and public grounds, all military bases, posts and stations, on all naval vessels until sunset on the day of the burial.”
