She was active in her father’s 1992 and 1997 political campaigns, before retreating to her businesses in land, property agency and development.

June is among Moi’s eight children who are known for different reasons including politics, sports, and escalation of personal issues.

Currently, KANU party leader Gideon Moi is among the most well-known members of the Moi family.

Gideon is Moi’s lastborn, being his father’s favorite, he took up the role of the family’s spokesperson after the former president died in 2021.
