Morara claims he has been blocked from accessing critical govt documents
Political activist Morara Kebaso has raised alarm over sustained frustration and restrictions he claims to have faced as a result of his civic engagements.
In a statement posted on his X account on Monday, July 14, 2025, Kebaso revealed that his KRA PIN has been blocked, denying him access to basic services such as acquiring a tax compliance certificate, opening a bank account, registering a business, or even obtaining a certificate of good conduct from the DCI.

He further disclosed that the same blockage has limited his ability to travel to countries essential for his business activities, such as China, and has made it impossible to own land under his name.
“Today I am suffering; I can’t travel to some countries like China, which are essential for my business, because I can’t get a tax compliance from KRA. I can’t open a bank account because my KRA PIN was blocked. I can’t register a business licence because my KRA PIN is blocked. I can’t even get a good conduct from DCI if I need a job. I can’t own land in my name if my PIN is blocked. Because I was fighting for you. You who insult me every day, yet you need more help than I.” Morara posed.
Kebaso, who has been vocal on matters of governance and public accountability, expressed deep frustration over what he views as betrayal by the very citizens he has fought for.
He questioned how voters living in poverty, unable to afford daily meals or access decent living conditions, continue to make poor decisions at the ballot, driven by tribal loyalty.
“I don’t understand how you can be jobless, living in deplorable conditions, unable to afford a meal every day but still make foolish decisions at the ballot. How? Why? How can you be poor but tribal?” Morara questioned.
Onslaught on activists
He criticised the electorate for turning against those who champion their rights, branding them with demeaning labels while defending the same politicians responsible for their suffering.
He lamented that the political space is increasingly controlled by a majority that votes without questioning, enabling the continuation of failed leadership. According to Kebaso, these patterns are evident in the overwhelming turnout at political rallies where crowds cheer leaders who represent the very problems they face.
Cost of tribalism
He also challenged Kenyans to reflect on their admiration for revolutionary figures like Ibrahim Traorè, asking why such leadership cannot emerge through the ballot in Kenya.
In his view, the root cause remains tribalism—a deeply embedded problem that continues to undermine progressive leadership and civic accountability.
“Is Ibrahim Traorè that you admire so much, was he elected? Why? Why can’t you vote for someone like him? Shida yako ni nini? Ukabila,” he concluded.
