Retired President Daniel Kapkorios Toroitich Arap Moi said on Wednesday during the celebration of his 91st birthday that the secret to long life is knowing and serving God.
Moi, who ruled the country from 1978 to 2002, was speaking to guests at Kabarak University during a 20-minute function.
"You should serve the Almighty God faithfully in your entire life and God will reward you with giving you a longer life,” Moi said.
"I did not waver in my faith despite great trials. I thank God for giving me life up to date," he added.
Apart from urging Kenyans to grow spiritually, Moi also called for them to be united to embrace peace.
At the end of the function, Moi planted a tree at the University before heading to his home to spend time with family members.
