Why Morara Kebaso Is Stepping Back From Activism
Morara Kebaso, a well-known political activist, has announced a temporary retreat from activism to re-strategize amid mounting challenges.
Frustrated by his followers’ lack of physical support during difficult times, Kebaso seeks to find new ways to mobilize loyal supporters.
His decision follows recent police attacks and his arrest at the Bomas of Kenya during a public forum on the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
As tensions rise, Kebaso’s break is a calculated pause to rethink his approach while navigating the increasing political pressure against him.

Morara Kebaso Discouraged By Growing Frustration
Political activist Morara Kebaso has decided to take a break from his activism. He announced this decision on Wednesday, citing the need to re-strategize and address challenges that have affected his efforts.
The break comes after facing increasing attacks and a lack of physical support from his followers when he faces trouble.
Morara expressed frustration with the fact that while many of his supporters cheer him online, they fail to stand by him in moments of crisis.
“Most of my supporters cheer me online, but when I am in trouble, they never show up. I need a new strategy to mobilize my loyal supporters to have my back whenever I am under attack,” he stated on X.
The activist revealed that recent police attacks against him have become more strategic, making it harder for the public to take notice.
He emphasized that while he continues to fight for Kenya, he expects Kenyans to fight for him as well. The break is meant to allow him time to develop a plan to garner that kind of loyalty and support.
Arrest at Bomas of Kenya
Morara’s decision to step back comes just days after his arrest at the Bomas of Kenya during a public forum on the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
He was charged with creating a disturbance by uttering the words “kufa dereva kufa makanga,” which allegedly caused the public to react.
Arrested from his office and detained at Lang’ata Police Station, Morara was later transferred to Hardy Police Station, where his lawyers successfully negotiated his release on bond.
Morara is set to return to the police station on October 15 for arraignment. His lawyer, Cliff Ombeta, confirmed the release but made it clear that the legal battle is far from over.
Morara’s arrest has sparked a political storm, with many questioning the government’s crackdown on activists. While he temporarily steps away, his decision signals a calculated pause to reassess his approach in the face of increasing political pressure.
