The Cheluget family agreed to sell their 5800-acre Narok Southland to the government. Former PS Nancy Kirui said they support President Ruto's plan to resettle the families living there. The family has met with officials to work out a solution for the disputed property.
Kirui confirmed they offered the land to help settle about 600 people who moved onto it around 1999. Despite winning court cases against these settlers, the family wants peace. President Ruto recently told residents the government would buy the land for them.
The late Isaiah Cheluget received the land in 1997 before he died in 2017. His widow, Raeli Cheluget, along with three others, serves as the legal administrator of his estate. The High Court in Kericho settled succession matters in 2018. The family asked people to ignore anyone else claiming to represent them in this matter.
