Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo became a trending topic online after a recent statement sparked humorous reactions among Kenyans. While speaking during an interview, Kabogo mentioned that he is not very familiar with computer operations, leading many social media users to create memes and jokes about the incident.
The remark, which seemed innocent, quickly went viral as netizens interpreted it as a sign of being out of touch with current technology. Memes portraying him as a tech novice flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
Some Kenyans expressed concern, suggesting that leaders in today’s digital age should be more informed about technology. Others, however, took the moment lightly, saying anyone can struggle with tech, regardless of their status.
Kabogo has not publicly responded to the online buzz, but the incident has added to the growing list of light-hearted moments involving Kenyan politicians. While reactions vary, the conversation has once again highlighted the importance of digital literacy in modern leadership.
