June Chebet Profile
June was the youngest of the Moi siblings. She was adopted by the former president and taken in as one of the family members. Chebet was also a niece to his estranged wife the late Lena Moi.
In his biography, 'The Making of an African Statesman', written by British author Andrew Morton, Moi said that only two of his children were there to provide moral support when he was head of state; June & Gideon Moi.
She attended Nairobi Primary, Kenya High School and then moved on to university in Canada.
She was active in her father’s 1992 and 1997 political campaigns before retreating to her land, property agency and development businesses.
She was also a beneficiary of the estate of the late former President Daniel Moi, who bequeathed Ksh100 million to each of his daughters Jenifer Chemutai Moi, Doris Chekorir Moi and June Chebet Moi.
Moi's Children
The late former head of state also handed down a 931-hectare tract of land to the Trustees of Kabarak University for the benefit of his five sons.
Jonathan Kipkemboi Moi, Raymond Moi, John Mark Moi, Philip Moi and Gideon Moi were given an equal share to use during their lifetime as well as their children.
His will is being executed by his lawyer Zehrabanu Janmohamed who also serves as a non-executive director of Standard Group Plc.
Zehrabanu is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and a Barrister at Lincolns Inn (UK) with over twenty (20) years of legal professional experience, according to Reuters.
She works as an advocate with Archer & Wilcock Advocates and a member of the Company's Finance and Audit Committees, as well as its Human Resources and Remuneration Committees.
The late president’s daughters have over the years managed to stay out of the public eye, despite their father being the most powerful man in Kenya from 1978 to 2002.
