How a KU CRM student can navigate and be an outstanding young professional

a beautiful alumni pose that comprised the panel discussion I happily attended the 2nd CRM Alumni workshop on 2nd April 2025 as a panel discussant. It is ten years since I graduated (class of 2015) and proud that I took Community Resource Management (CRM) & Extension course. Though time was brief, I enjoyed the keynote speech from Mwangi Stephen, a fellow alumni (class of 2013) on how he believed in self, volunteered and is proud of his achievements including being the present National Programme Cordinator for International Labour Organisation.  I would briefly tell the listening students that what would set anyone apart from another is how one utilizes their free time. Little happens and is gained in groups and social interactions. But when one recedes to private space to read, reflect, imagine, plan, act and more then one is surely on an upward trajectory that would sooner set him or her at a competitive advantage.  an invite poster, courtesy CRM department.

Arap Titi was of Kapcheptegen Clan

Here is what I got from Arap Titi's home.

The Late Hon. Paul Titi is son to Chief Arap Titi and @⁨Ndanyi Saniaga⁩ can remember seeing him visit his grandpa. Was he a family friend or a saniak? This is because both Ndanyi senior and Arap Titi were famous men.

This Titi had 21 daughters and 9 boys from 12 wives. He is said to have migrated to Seremi after knowing he was going to become a chief. He came from Tabolwa, Kapkeben (there is saniak kericho lead) and is of Kapcheptegen clan of Nandi. This I was told by his daughter, an old lady that never married. This lady was already born as Titi settled in Seremi and she could somehow recall events. At time of migration to settle in busy Serem market he had three wives. His last wife was A Tiriki and reason why he had many wives was because if you gave birth to a girl he would disown you.

On the way from Tabolwa, Titi's father is said to have picked a child. It was a girl. Her name would be Chevosigis*. She was brought up as Titi's sister.

His main purpose was to check Maragoli entrance and occupation of Nandi land. He took to himself a huge area of land that is still visible today and some poor men around had to migrate.

Titi is said to have been fluent in Luo, Luhya, Swahili kidogo and Nandi suggesting constant interactions with Kiboswa people...(where Mr. Saniaga met Mulogoli? ).

There is an Orthodox church in part of his land. He is said to have asked them or the other way round to come to Seremi. The church was based in Uganda before then.

And Arap Titi was born by Singija. And Singija was born by Nyaburuki. That is far they traced his tree. I could only ask whether Nyaburuki has Kisii origin. At 107 years, year 1988, Titi died.
