Kalonzo was in the company of ODM deputy leader Wycliffe Oparanya, DAP-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa, Mwangi Wa Iria, Senator Agnes Muthama and his son Kennedy Musyoka.
The Wiper leader eulogised the late June as a vibrant lady, describing her as full of life and welcoming to all despite her family's political ties.
"This afternoon, I visited the family of the second President of the Republic of Kenya, Daniel arap Moi at Karbarnet Gardens, Nairobi and condoled with them following the sudden passing of Junet Chebet.
I remember June as being vibrant and full of life. She always had time for anyone irrespective of office and political affiliation. May God rest June's soul in eternal peace," Kalonzo said.
In the statement on Thursday, April 11, Moi's family announced that June died aged 60 years. The family did not disclose what might have led to June's untimely death.
June Chebet, Moi’s last-born daughter, was adopted by the late president at a young age.
She attended the Nairobi Primary School and later proceeded to Kenya High School for her secondary education before moving to Canada to pursue her university education.
The former president had seven biological children: Jennifer Chemutai Kositany, Doris Elizabeth Chepkorir, Jonathan Moi, Raymond Moi, Philip Moi, John Mark Moi, and Gideon Moi.
President William Ruto joined Kenyans in mourning June's demise.
In his condolence message, the head of state prayed for strength for the family of the former president during this difficult time.
Cooperatives and MSME Development Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui also sent his message of condolence, praying for strength to the Moi family.
