Susan Cheburet has been seeking court orders to compel Moi to return her 53 acres of land valued over three billion shillings, located at Uasin Gishu, Eldoret Municipality.
Cheburet and her son David Chelugui said that Moi transferred family land to himself in 2007; two years after her husband’s death, Noah Chelugui, who before death was a chief during Moi’s regime.
According to suit papers filed in the Eldoret High Court through advocate Wiliam Arusei, Moi transferred the land to himself on March 2, 2007 irregularly.

The widow made it Nairobi from Eldoret to petition CS for lands, Charity Ngilu over the matter.
Ngilu who was in a hurry to attend to official matters directed the PS Peter Kahuho to attend in person.
The PS assured her of attending to the matter with urgency to ensure that she gets her land back.
