“Ni kubaya politicians wenzangu”Moses Kuria Reacts As Hundreds of Kenyans Show Up To Support Kaluma Boy With Sick Father

Former Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has lauded the solidarity shown by Kenyan TikTokers who turned out in large numbers in Othaya, Nyeri, to support Kaluma — a young boy who has been single-handedly caring for his father, who is battling a stroke.

Kaluma, who works on a local farm to cover medical expenses, had only invited a few well-wishers to his home. However, TikTokers mobilized an overwhelming response, arriving in a convoy of vehicles with food, clothing, money, and other essential supplies.

Videos circulating online captured the emotional moment as supporters streamed into the boy’s home, with many Kenyans praising the unity and kindness demonstrated.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Kuria hailed the gesture as a reflection of a new spirit among Kenyan youth.

Moses Kuria wrote:
“The solidarity young people are giving to Content Creator Kaluma Boy in Othaya today is symptomatic of the new Republic. 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 heartwarming incident has been widely celebrated across social media, with many noting that Kaluma’s honesty and openness about his struggles moved Kenyans to rally behind him.

“This is what Kenya is all about,” Kuria added. “May God bless his family and everyone who showed up, including those who couldn’t but still supported him.”

The story of Kaluma not only highlights the resilience of young caregivers but also the power of community in a digital age, where social media mobilization can turn personal struggles into nationwide acts of compassion.
