NAIROBI, Kenya — Former Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has reported missing land documentation for a property registered in his name in Kitale Municipality, Trans Nzoia County.
The Lands Registry has consequently begun the process of replacing the missing document, according to a Gazette Notice published on October 2.
The notice identifies Moi as the registered proprietor of L.R. No. 2116/1054, situated in Kitale Municipality, and says the property is registered under I.R. 53898/1.
“Whereas Gideon Towet Moi, of P.O. Box 51990, Nairobi in the Republic of Kenya, is registered as proprietor of all that piece of land known as L.R. No. 2116/1054, situate in the city of Kitale Municipality in Trans Nzoia District, by virtue of a grant, registered as I.R. 53898/1,” the notice states.
Registry Gives 60-Day Objection Period
The Registrar of Titles said sufficient evidence had been presented to show that the original grant could no longer be accounted for.
Members of the public have been given 60 days from the date of publication to raise any objections to the proposed replacement.
If no objection is received within that period, the Registrar said a provisional certificate would be issued after the 60 days expire.
The notice therefore places the deadline at around December 1, 2026, based on its October 2 publication date.
“And whereas sufficient evidence has been adduced to show that the said grant has been lost, notice is given that after the expiration of sixty (60) days from the date hereof, I shall issue a provisional certificate provided that no objection has been received within that period,” the notice states.
Moi Family Land Documents
The development comes months after members of the Moi family began separate processes to replace missing documentation relating to properties in Trans Nzoia.
Raymond Kipruto Moi, another son of former President Daniel arap Moi, was among the family members to initiate a similar process, with a Gazette Notice dated July 31 recording the loss of documents relating to his property.
Four related notices concerning the properties were published on the same day, according to the information available.
The notices were issued under the Land Registration Act, with the Lands Registry stating that sufficient evidence had been presented to establish that the respective documents were missing.
