NAIROBI, Jan 28, 2008 (AFP) - Former Kenyan president Daniel arap Moi was admitted Monday to a Nairobi hospital complaining of pain in his lower back, his doctor David Silverstein said.
'The former president is currently undergoing investigation, observation and treatment,' the physician told AFP.
Moi, 83, was president of Kenya between 1978 and 2002.
As recently as Friday, Moi held talks with former UN chief Kofi Annan, who is in Kenya to try to broker an end to the political crisis and tribal bloodshed that erupted after disputed December 27 presidential elections.
