President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday paid a visit to retired president Daniel Moi at his Kabarnet Gardens residence, Nairobi.
The details of what transpired in the meeting are scanty but it is believed they may have discussed the country's political future ahead of the August poll.
"Paid a courtesy call on Former President Daniel Arap Moi," Uhuru said on his official twitter account.
The post attracted positive and negative comments from his followers.
"Wow, that's great. He was the one who discovered the star which is currently shinning in you.
Stay blessed Sir," a user identified as Mwongererithia said.
Kevinche said: "@UKenyatta, say jambo to mzee, take heed of the call, najua ana ujumbe mzuri kwako utakao tufaa wote (I know he has a good message to you that will benefit all of us),"
But other users criticised Uhuru saying he should instead concentrate on solving the doctors' strike impasse.
"@UKenyatta, It is okay to check on the old man but is he the top-most priority?"
Black Star asked.
Danmilaw said: "I thought you would tell us that doctors issue is sorted. Poor Kenyans are suffering than Egyptians under Pharaoh's plagues,"
The meeting comes barely weeks after
Mama Ngina Kenyatta, Uhuru's mother, visited Moi at his Kabarak home in Nakuru.
The leaked photos of the meeting sparked debate on what the former First Lady was up to ahead of the general election.
Mama Ngina said that she visited Moi to check up on a friend and Moi asked her to visit again in the near future.
There has been speculation that the Kenyatta's are keen on using the former first family's influence to have Kanu back Uhuru's reelection.
Kanu is led by Gideon Moi, the son of the retired president, and has been in close ties with the opposition's National Super Alliance (Nasa).
Gideon said he will decide whether to back a presidential candidate from another party or go it alone in the scheduled poll.
