Kalenjins love affair for the brown ‘Jaget’

Their Prowess in long distance running is undisputable. This was evident in the 2016 Rio Olympics. But there is another ‘marathon’ in town. The internet has been rocked with the latest tendencies of Kalenjin’s love towards the brown ‘jagets’ (Jackets). As one gets to Eldoret town, they are greeted with prospects of activities with agriculture and trading taking the center stage but that alone is not enough for you to conclude that you are indeed in Eldoret. You will know you are in Eldoret once you see men wearing brown jackets. Indeed you will know you have met a Kalenjin man if you spot one wearing this brown jacket.

Like an army worm invasion, or like a Kikuyu and his Probox, the Kaleo jacket is a must for any noble man or child from the land of Mursik. The last time I was in a shopping mall looking for a warm pullover to kill the August colds I must also admit I felt a victim! Getting to this jackets stall, it’s like I was instantly bewitched! The notion of buying a pullover was instantaneously taken away by the brown jacket's magnetism; I parted away with my 2k without a graph! Was it because my 'bakule' Kipkorir owned one and looked superb in it? Was it because Jebets find Kibets with brown jagets eye-catching?? No, I couldn't find the best counter to this. And who will want to be left behind?? Interestingly, high profile Kaleos including the DP Ruto has also been spotted wearing very similar jackets with the one favored by his kinsmen. Cherangany MP Wesly Korir was also spotted wearing one in a recent interview with a local Tv station not forgetting to mention our long distance hero Wilson Kipsang.
