Political activist and Inject Party leader Kebaso Morara has pushed back against mounting criticism, asserting that his actions reflect the will of the Kenyan people, not personal ambition.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Morara emphasized that he is staying true to the mandate he was given by citizens—to fight for the country’s liberation with consistency and integrity.
He questioned the apparent shift in public sentiment, particularly regarding his recent stance against working with opposition politicians—some of whom he has previously associated with.
“Fellow Kenyans, you asked me to remain consistent. Have you changed your mind? Are we still aligned? You told me to reject tribalism in leadership, to oppose the use of stolen wealth in campaigns, to stand against recycling failed politicians, and to advocate for youthful, transformative leadership. I’m doing exactly that—just as you asked,” Morara stated.
His remarks come in response to growing backlash over what some see as hypocrisy, accusing him of criticizing political figures he once aligned with.
Political activist and Inject Party leader Kebaso Morara has further clarified his position amid criticism over his recent fallout with opposition politicians, stating that while the public encouraged him to collaborate with other leaders, he found no shared values or clear vision among those he approached—particularly within the opposition ranks.
Speaking on Tuesday, Morara said Kenyans had urged him not to lead in isolation but to work alongside others in the political space. In response, he made efforts to engage, but was ultimately disappointed by the lack of integrity and ideological direction in those quarters.
“Yes, they told me to stop working alone and collaborate with other leaders. I tried, but I couldn’t find values or a vision I could align with. I had to walk away,” Morara said, adding that he is still open to working with leaders of integrity who are committed to meaningful change.
His comments come in the wake of a high-profile meeting between former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and a group of opposition leaders, including former CSs Mithika Linturi and Justin Muturi. Morara dismissed the gathering as “unity without vision” and “unity without purpose,” criticizing it as a political alliance based not on reform or policy, but on personal interests and recycled leadership.
“This is not the unity Kenya needs. It’s a coalition of individuals already rejected by the people. I urge all young Kenyans to reject this alliance. It’s time for a new generation of leaders—leaders untainted by corruption or past failures—to come together and chart a new path,” Morara stated passionately.
He expressed his willingness to work with progressive, honest leaders who are unburdened by past scandals, reiterating his belief that the solution to Kenya’s challenges does not lie in reuniting failed leadership under a different banner.
“We cannot solve our problems by recycling the same individuals who caused them. I’m open to working with leaders who haven’t been associated with theft or betrayal. That’s the kind of leadership Kenya needs,” he said.
Morara concluded by criticizing the opposition’s current agenda, accusing them of lacking a clear vision for the country and being solely focused on removing President William Ruto from office without presenting viable alternatives for national progress.
