Moi University lecturer ​​sues her husband for selling her land to Eliud Kipchoge and Kipruto in 2011 without her consent.

Moi University lecturer Joyce Komen has sued her husband Daniel Komen, former marathon world record holder Eliud Kipchoge, and Birmin Kipruto over ownership of a prime piece of land in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu, valued at over Sh100 million.

The senior lecturer is accusing her husband of selling the land to Kipchoge and Kipruto in 2011 without her consent.

According to court papers, the disputed land, LR number 8638/26, which measures 200 acres, is located in the southeast of Eldoret Municipality in Uasin Gishu County.

In an affidavit, Joyce told the court that she was shocked to learn that Kipchoge and Kipruto claimed to have bought the land.

She argued that the 200-acre property was sold for Sh10 million, which she said was only 10 percent of the land’s true value. 

The university don claimed that her husband had never mentioned that he had sold the land or that he intended to sell the property.

“I have also learned with shock that the property was sold at just Sh10 million, which represents just 10 percent of the actual value of the land,” the court papers read in part.

Further, she said the property was acquired and developed by joint efforts of the couple during their marriage but was registered in the name of her husband in the trust of the family.

She went on to say that the property was acquired and developed by the couple’s joint efforts during their marriage but was registered in her husband’s name in the family trust.

The plaintiff asked the court to determine whether she had a right to be involved in a transaction involving family property, whether the transaction between her husband and other defendants was a clear violation of her constitutional rights, and whether the transaction was void because it violated clear provisions of the law.

Joyce also urged the court to determine whether she is entitled to an equal share of the property in question and whether she is entitled to costs and any other reliefs.
