Short primer for the 8 age sets of Kalenjin (below 👇👇)
Tugen lost Maina and Marakwet had lost Kipkoimet ( renamed it Kaberur)
It’s Time (Kaitsait) to Help usher in Maina 2023 (most common age sent but varying) with H.E @WilliamsRuto & my brother CS Super Sen. @kipmurkomen even as we celebrate new stage as Bamwai.
Maina is the generation that are known for innovation, named after Maina, who introduced song and dance done at Chepyegon /Cheptilet. This generation today is behind AI, technology, enterprise, startups, movements and many more forms of creating new things. May the young men coming out this season accross the Kalenjins nation seize the opportunity to create new things.
I look forward to working to expand opportunities with our people (young & old) : in the interim through technology; policy; philanthropy and our work at @mentorthon & @QuestworksKenya and l more in coming months.
