Moi was sympathetic to the African struggle for Independence though not in a militaristic manner. He assisted various freedom fighters at his home in the Rift Valley. He also developed strong links with Jomo Kenyatta.
The colonial authorities warned Moi against associating with Kenyatta but he ignored those warnings and visited Kenyatta in Lodwar. On Kenya's independence in 1963 and Kenyatta's accession first to the post of Prime Minister then to President, the two men worked together.
