Luos Live in Europe: Kenyans Gush Over PS Oluga’s Dream Home in Siaya

Medical Services Principal Secretary Ouma Oluga has captured the attention of Kenyans online after sharing photos of his family homestead in Uyoma, Siaya County. The images show a sprawling compound surrounded by flourishing greenery, tall palms and neatly kept lawns, and they spread quickly across social media.

Posting on Facebook, Oluga described stopping by the homestead for a breather beneath an old, sprawling tree. He used its shade as a symbol of intergenerational responsibility, suggesting that the trees enjoyed today were protected by those who came before and must be protected for those who will come after.

The timing of the visit, on a day set aside to celebrate the environment, added weight to his message. Rather than issuing a formal statement or attending a ceremony to plant trees, Oluga chose to mark the occasion in a deeply personal way. He presented his own family home as a living example of environmental stewardship passed down through generations.

Many followers said the photos offered a rare personal glimpse into the life of a senior public official outside government offices. Some responded with warm memories of their own rural homes and the trees that shaded them in childhood. Others compared the compound to scenes from Europe, a reaction that gave the story its viral edge.

The post also drew sharp questions. Several Kenyans asked how his message fits with the cutting of trees by government across the country, turning a gentle reflection into a wider conversation about conservation and public accountability.
