People can’t get enough of this ‘Kalenjin jacket’
A brown rexine jacket has taken the internet by storm after it was associated by some of the world beaters –the Kalenjins.
With a light touch, Kenyans on Twitter, — majority of them Kalenjins — have been making fun of the jacket, which appears to be a hit.
In some instances, more than four men are pictured in the jacket. It all started when Cherengany MP Wesley Korir appeared in an interview on Citizen TV’s Sunday Live with the trademark jacket.
