Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has applauded Kenyan young generation for the spirit of mobilisation and solidarity.
The CS said elderly Kenyans should reflect on their place in the country’s shifting political and social landscape as a new wave of youth solidarity emerges.
On Sunday, in Othaya, young people turned out in large numbers to support content creator Kaluma Boy.
Kaluma Boy, a content creator has been documenting how he is single-handedly taking care of his ailing father on his social media pages.
He has been working on a local farm, picking tea to help cover the medical bills for his father, which he said became overwhelming.
In a video posted on social media, Kaluma appreciated Kenyan who have come out to help him secure medication for his father.
Reacting to the fundraiser graced by thousands of Kenyans, the former CS said the solidarity points to a new republic where the younger generation is charting its own course, independent of the old political order.
“To my fellow Octogenarians. We have been preparing for an exam in Biology using a Literature Text Book. The solidarity young people are giving to Content Creator Kaluma Boy in Othaya today is symptomatic of the new Republic,” he said.
“Young people of this country have moved on without us. We are like that spare wheel at the back of a Land Rover. Smell the coffee wazee wenzangu. We lost our deposit.”

The rising influence of young people in shaping discourse whether through digital spaces, grassroots mobilization, or cultural movements continues to redefine Kenya’s social fabric.
Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah said “Big up to Kenyans who pulled up for Kaluma in Nyeri. That’s real community vibes and true Kenyans for Kenyans. But shame on the government and the Social Health Authority for abandoning families.”
According to Kaluma Boy, his father has been sick for about one year after he suffered a stroke in end of August 2024.
“After he got sick, he went in a coma for three months and he came from the hospital in December but until now, we have been in and out of hospital. It is like he is in a ward at home. It is been hard for us; the medications are expensive,” he said.
“I appeal to you to help us, if we can find someone to help us take him to a physiotherapist, he will be well soon, if he is at home, it is hard.”
Kenyans on social media were moved to tears as they arranged a visit to help him, coming out in large numbers.
A fleet of buses was also seen making way to Kaluma Boy’s home for the fundraiser.
Kenyans on social media have come out to applaud those who showed up and mobilized fellow social media users in the show of solidarity.
