Tugen may also refer to Tugen Hills in Kenya The Tugen are a branch of the Kalenjin people Kalenjin community and they occupy the districts of Baringo District Baringo and Koibatek in Rift Valley Province Rift Valley , Kenya . Daniel arap Moi , the second president of Kenya 1978&ndash 2002 was from the Tugen branch. The Tugen people speak the Tugen language . The Tugen are cattle keepers and the cow occupies a central part in their cultural lives, as food meat and milk , currency, as dowry.

The Tugen social organisation centres around the age set, or ibindo. There are seven age sets ibinwek which are rotational, meaning at the end of one ageset new members of that generation are born. The order is roughly as given below. Among the some Kalenjin peoples, an age set called Maina exists. However, among the Tugen, this ageset is extinct. Legend has it that the members of this ibindo .... The Tugen don t consider a woman to have an ageset, hence she can marry any ageset except that in which her father belongs.

Of the Kalenjin dialects, their speech is sharply accented and fast. Amazingly, they are able to easily understand all the other dialects of the Kalenjin, a feat which the others hardly accomplish. Due to this dynamism, their contribution to the Kalenjin lexicon is worth noting. As a result of the peculiarity of the Arror, their other Kalenjin counterparts often daunt them as rat eaters due to their ancestral mastery of hunting with bow and arrow.

In Kenya, where speakers make up 18 of the population, the name Kalenjin , a Nandi expression meaning I say to you , gained prominence in the late 1940s and the early 1950s, when several Kalenjin speaking peoples united under it. This ethnic consolidation created a major ethnic group in Kenya, and also involved a standardization of the Kenyan Kalenjin dialects. However, since outside Kenya the name Kalenjin has been extended to related languages such as Okiek language Okiek of Tanzania and Elgon languages of Uganda, it is common in linguistic literature to refer to the languages of the Kenyan Kalenjin peoples as Nandi , after the principal variety.

Its residents are mainly of the Arror dialect of the Tugen sub tribe in the Kalenjin cluster. Kabartonjo was founded in the early 20th century by Scottish missionaries who founded a church and a school. Kenya s second president, H.E. Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi went to school here, the primary school is now named in his honor. In the initial days of its existence, Kabartonjo was known to the locals as Kameshen , roughly translated as of the mission due to the mission established there. The name Kabartonjo is the name of an influential clan that live nearby who due to their influence in local politics managed to christen the town in their name. Kabartonjo is an area that was populated by the Kaplumbei and Kapcheptinya clans. It is located on top of a ridge and all the surrounding land is used up hence its prospects of expansion are extremely limited. There is a shortage of water since there are no large rivers or dams nearby. As the largest town in Baringo North, Kabartonjo is the hotbed of Arror politics. coord 00 38 N 35 48 E region KE type city display title Category Populated places in Rift Valley Province RiftValleyKE geo stub sw Kabartonjo sv Kabartonjo ... more details

The current settlement of the Kipsigis is in the Rift Valley province, Kenya Rift Valley province of Kenya . The Kipsigis are the most numerous of the Kalenjin.The latest Census population in Kenya put the kipsigis at 1.972 Million speakers accounting for 45 of all kalenjin speaking people.They occupy the higlands of Kericho stretching from Timboroa to Mara River in the south, the west of Mau Escarpment in the east to Kebeneti in the west. They also occupy, parts of Laikipia , Kitale , Nakuru , Narok , Trans Mara District , Eldoret and Nandi Hills, Kenya Nandi Hills . The Kipsigis are considered to be the most exposed of the subtribes, though job opportunities and prominence diminished under Daniel arap Moi Moi due to tribal jealousy and fear by Moi of the educated Kipsigis. Education standards fell and general development failed and the people were subjected to political manipulation. It is not uncommon to find the Kipsigis living in abject poverty compared to the Tugen and Elgeyo tribes, Moi s favourite subtribes of the Kalenjin. The Kipsigis were used as the electoral vote generators, but real development and enrichment went to Tugen and Keiyo, though they are less educated and live in arid lands. The Nandis faced the Kipsigis plight to a lesser extent. Most Kipsigis are known for humility, hardship endurance and their strong emotional expressions. They are also characterised as loyal and courageous people. The kipsigis are among the most hospitable and courteous ethnic groups of Kenya .
