The Cheluget family agreed to sell their land to help settle families living there. Nancy Kirui spoke for the family at a news conference, saying they support President Ruto's plan. They talked with government officials about selling their 5800-acre property in Narok South. The late Isaiah Cheluget tried to fix this problem before he died in 2017. His family wants peace.
Kirui said a court named four legal handlers of the estate back in 2018. She warned people not to believe anyone else claiming to speak for the family. President Ruto told locals he would buy the land for them during his visit to Sogoo. He ordered officials to finish the deal fast. About 600 people moved onto the land around 1999.
These settlers divided the land themselves after taking it over. Courts ruled for the Cheluget family many times. The former Nyanza Provincial Commissioner received this land in 1997. His family is ready to work with the government for a peaceful end to this dispute.
