Presiding bishop Silas Yego said he had to honour the late leader's wish and give Bibles to his eight children.

Former President Daniel arap Moi had five sons and three daughters.

The wives of his late son Jonathan and another son, John Mark, who was not present at the burial were given Bibles.

"You know he loved the Bible, we will give you the Bibles," Bishop Yego said before issuing the family with Bibles.
