A new twist has emerged in the ongoing dispute over the 5,800-acre land parcel belonging to the late Isaiah Cheluget after the family dismissed that Moses Kipkirui Cheluget is the owner's son.

In an official statement, the family urged the public to disregard Kipkirui's allegation that there were no discussions between the president and them over the purchase of the land.

Kipkirui had previously denied that President William Ruto met with the family, informing that as it stood, the family had no official signatory and a succession case was ongoing to determine the official signatory.

Statements that the family representatives have refuted, asserting that the succession case was conclusively settled at the High Court, Kericho, and confirmation of the grant issued on June 12, 2018.
