NAIROBI 29 Oct (ANA) - Kenya's former President Daniel arap Moi has been taken to hospital for medical check-up for the second time in two weeks, Daily Nation newspaper reports.

 

His spokesman said the 95-year-old had been taken to a top private hospital in the capital, Nairobi, for a "routine check-up".
