During his recent visit to Narok County, the president sparked an impact after claiming that he received a head from the late Cheluuget to the government to buy a 5,800 -acre piece of land registered under his name.
The purpose is to calm the homeless inhabitants who have taken over the land for decades.
How a family emerged to oppose the President about the government to buy his father’s farm
The situation changed later when a man emerged and claimed no one of the deceased’s family was talking to Ruto about their land.
In the name Moses Kipkirui Cheluget, the man said that it was impossible for the President to negotiate with ‘his father’, but he died in 2017.
Moses also raised doubts about Ruto’s remarks, claiming that the family did not appoint anyone to represent them in the relevant land negotiations.
He vowed to go to court to prevent any government attempt to buy the land.
However, one day after Moses’ statement, the Cheluget family issued a statement to reporters and denied its allegations.
Led by Nancy Kirui, the family confirmed that it had agreed with the government to buy land.
According to Nancy, the president was in talks with the family and was represented by the Secretary -General, Nixon Korir and Narok Governor Patrick Ntutu.
“We are the family of the late Isaiah Kiplangat Cheluuget, legally appointed executives and beneficiaries of his property, we say that we agree with the president’s statement in Sogoo Narok south. We want to confirm that we have met several times with representatives of the President. Nancy said.
The family also confirmed that Moses was not their relatives, after failing in his attempts to be recognized among the late Cheluget children.

Why did the Cheluget family deny their ‘relatives’
During reporters, Nancy and her relative revealed that the man had filed a lawsuit in 2017 seeking to be identified as a biological child, but his request was thrown out after the court refused to file a request for DNA testing.
Moses was unsuccessful in his move to demand Cheluget’s body being fired for DNA tests.
The family informed the public that Moses was not one of them in their family, so he should be ignored.
“Moses Cheluget is a foreigner in this process and is not legally recognized as beneficiaries or supervisor of the property. His current actions are not legal and is an attempt to destroy the legitimate process by real estate representatives.
According to Nancy, their nationalist, before his death, sought the government’s intervention in resolving the conflict with the perpetrators.
The family seemed to be grateful to Ruto and the governor’s intervention to resolve the controversy around the land.
The late Cheluget, former Regional Commissioner and Kipsigis Elders Council, appointed his widow, Raeli Chepkurgat Cheluuget, along with Johnstone Kipkoech Langat, Laurence Kimutai Langat, and Kenneth Kipyegon Langat, to be law enforcement.
Why Cheluget Land has been in a dispute
As previously reported by TUKO.co.ke, the land involved has been in conflict for years.
Despite Cheluget getting ownership of a large land long before his death, the perpetrators refused to move.
They said the land was theirs from their ancestors, the issue finds the way in the court.
