The late former President Daniel arap Moi took deliberate steps to ensure a smooth succession of his vast wealth by preparing a detailed will years before his death. Moi, who led Kenya for 24 years, accumulated significant assets, including land, residential properties, businesses, and financial investments.
According to the will, which was written in 2005 and amended in 2010, Moi sought to preserve unity within his family by clearly outlining how his estate would be shared among his eight children.
His three daughters June Chebet, Doris CheKorir, and Jenifer Chemutai Moi were allocated liquid assets totaling KSh 300 million, with each receiving KSh 100 million.
The larger portion of the estate, including approximately 2,300 acres of land and properties in Kabarak, was designated for his five sons: Gideon, Jonathan, Philip, John Mark, and Raymond Moi. Additional parcels of land in Moi’s Bridge, Uasin Gishu County, and a Nairobi property were also earmarked for the sons.
Moi directed that the ancestral land be shared equally among his sons, who would later pass it on to their children, ensuring that the property remained within the family lineage for future generations.
Years after his passing in 2020, members of the Moi family continued implementing the provisions of the will. In 2025, the family reached a court-approved agreement to equally share funds held in bank accounts at Standard Chartered Bank and Access Bank among the five sons.
The distribution plan reflected Moi’s desire to maintain harmony among his heirs while safeguarding the family’s legacy and wealth for generations to come.
