How Moi’s Assets Were Distributed Among His 5 Sons and 3 Daughters

Just like the Kenyatta family, the Moi family is a prominent and influential one in Kenya, not only for its involvement in the country’s leadership but also for running vast business ventures.

Daniel arap Moi, having been Kenya’s President for 24 years—longer than any other head of state in the country—amassed massive wealth during his regime.

Among the assets that Moi acquired were a number of parcels of land, properties such as residential homes, and other private businesses. After his death, it was discovered that Moi had left a will stating that his five sons and 3 daughters would each get a portion of the wealth.

In this segment, Times Digital Kenya takes a look at how Mzee Daniel arap Moi distributed his wealth to his heirs and what each of his daughters and sons got.

How Moi’s Properties Were Distributed

Although Moi passed away in 2020, he had written his will over a decade earlier, in 2005, with an amendment made in 2010. The late Moi did this to ensure that, when he was gone, his family would remain in unity and harmony.

In his will, Moi prioritized liquid assets for his three daughters—June Chebet, Doris CheKorir, and Jenifer Chemutai Moi. He allocated a total of Shs 300 million to be shared among them, with each receiving Shs 100 million.

On the other hand, the late former President left 2,300 acres of land and properties in Kabarak. In his will, he stated that the land was to be shared among his five sons: Gideon, Jonathan, Philip, John Mark, and Raymond.

In addition to this huge tract at his rural home in Kabarak, two other parcels in Moi’s Bridge in Uasin Gishu County, as well as another in Nairobi identified as L.R No. 209/14697, were also to be shared among the five sons.

In the will, Moi instructed that the ancestral land be shared equally among his sons, who would later pass it on to their children. With this, he ensured that the land would remain in the family lineage.

Aside from the ancestral land, the family recently came to an agreement to share other assets mentioned in the will, including bank accounts. This followed an agreement in court (2025) that funds held at Standard Chartered Bank and Access Bank be shared equally among the five sons.

Legal Battles

Even though the will was comprehensive, leaving a portion of Moi’s wealth to his children, it did not cover every asset in his vast multi-billion-shilling empire.

As such, this resulted in some legal friction, with the prime 19.7-acre parcel in Muthaiga, Nairobi (valued at approximately Ksh 2.5 billion) being at the centre of the dispute.

As with the other properties not listed in the will, the court directed Zehrabanu Janmohamed, one of the administrators of the estate, to compile a list of any remaining assets to ensure a fair final distribution.
