“Kuna kitu inaharibu vijana hapa Nairobi inaitwa Aluta. Hio form me ndio nitaichoma! Karen Nyamu says.
Karen Nyamu has found herself on the receiving end of a wave of criticism from netizens after expressing her concerns about the popular ‘aluta’ culture in clubs. According to Nyamu, she believes that the early morning vibes associated with ‘aluta’ are negatively impacting the youth, and she has issued a warning to clubs and their owners that she intends to put an end to this phenomenon.
For those unfamiliar with the term, ‘aluta’ refers to the vibrant atmosphere in clubs during the early hours of Sunday morning when others are heading to church for praise and prayer.
It has become a cultural phenomenon for young people seeking to extend their weekend festivities into the dawn hours.
However, Nyamu’s comments have not been well-received by netizens, who have swiftly responded by advising her to mind her own business.
Many argue that Nyamu should focus on her political endeavors and not interfere with the social and recreational choices of the youth.
They assert that ‘aluta’ is a form of harmless entertainment and a way for the younger generation to unwind after a hectic week.
Social media platforms are flooded with comments urging Nyamu to redirect her energy toward more pressing issues facing the nation, rather than attempting to curtail a cultural phenomenon that brings joy to many. Some netizens have even gone as far as accusing her of being out of touch with the realities faced by the youth.
As the online discourse continues, it remains to be seen whether Karen Nyamu will reconsider her stance or if the ‘aluta’ culture will persist despite her warnings.
