Lena Moi, the late wife of former Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi, lived a quiet and often overlooked life, especially after her separation from the public spotlight. Though once the First Lady of Kenya, Lena chose a life far removed from politics and presidential ceremonies. Her final years were marked by silence, solitude, and illness—painting a picture of a woman who once stood in the limelight but spent her last days away from it all.

Lena and President Moi officially separated in the early 1970s, long before he became president in 1978. From that point, she lived a largely private life in Kabimoi, Baringo County, rarely appearing in public. Despite being the wife of one of Kenya’s most powerful leaders, Lena never enjoyed the luxuries or public adoration often associated with that role. She endured health challenges in her later years and reportedly spent much of her time bedridden.
