Morara opens up about personal and professional achievements at age 29
By Mustafa Juma, July 24, 2025Political commentator and entrepreneur Morara Kebaso has opened up about his personal and professional accomplishments at the age of 29, highlighting his success in business and his decision to remain financially independent of politics.
Speaking during a candid interview with media personality Andrew Kibe on Wednesday, July 23, 2025—livestreamed on Kibe’s X (formerly Twitter) account—Morara gave a detailed account of his journey so far, both as a businessman and a family man.
“At 29, I am a husband, and I have three known children,” he said with a smile. “I also run a business where I employ about 95 Kenyans.”
Morara’s companies
He revealed that he owns three companies operating in different sectors: a furniture business, a property enterprise, and a car rental service.
Among the three, Morara said the furniture business is his most successful, contributing the bulk of his income.
“I have three companies: the furniture business, the property business, and the car rental business. Magari niko na mingi, nikizitoa watasema mimi ni wa forex, ama wa washwash ama illuminati. I would say that I am doing well in the furniture business; I can give it 90%, and hizi zingine tunaeza sema ni za kujazilia tu,” he said.
He firmly dismissed any notion that he relies on politics for income. In fact, he described politics as a financial drain.
“I don’t need politics to make money. I would say that politics is an expensive venture, ni kitu inanikula pesa, hainiongezei (it eats my money, it doesn’t add to it),” he said.
Quitting politics
During the same interview, Morara also outlined some of the reasons why he announced that he was stepping back from active politics.
He cited emotional exhaustion and the deep-rooted challenges of tribalism and ignorance among Kenyans.
Reflecting on his political journey, Morara revealed that his involvement in politics began at a very young age.
“I have been in politics on and off since I was born, basically because I attended my first rally when I was seven years old. I was in leadership in primary school, in high school, and in campus in the student’s union,” he said.
Morara became a prominent voice in the Gen Z movement that swept the country from 2024 into 2025, championing social justice, accountability, and systemic change.
