Morara Kebaso has promised to refund the money sent to him by Kenyans following his request for financial assistance to aid his activism against the Kenya Kwanza government.
The vocal anti-William Ruto activist says he has decided to end his campaign after some branded him a conman adding that it is time to end his activism and focus on family and professional work.
“Good morning. I am grateful for all the support Kenyans have given me. But a time comes when a man must decide whether the nation is worth fighting for.
“My observation is that most Kenyans have already decided on the country they want to live in. I cannot continue to dirtify (sic) my reputation and earn the tag of a conman or beggar. It’s not worth it.
“I have a company to run and a family that loves me. For this reason, I would like to refund any Kenyan who has supported me and felt conned. I will refund you in full with a top-up for withdrawal. Nataka tumalizane kwa uzuri niende nipumzike,” Morara said in a post on X on Saturday, September 21, 2024.
U-turn
On September 20, 2024, Morara posted a photo of him and his colleagues, and this attracted criticism, with others registering displeasure in a number of people in the activist’s circle.
This criticism infuriated Morara, and although he vowed to continue fighting, he has now taken a U-turn, at least going by his latest post.
“When I work alone, they say I am individualistic. When I start working with people, they say the people in the photo are red flags. When I raise money for activities, they say (I am a) conman.
“Kwani mnataka billionaire mwizi mwenye tayari ako na pesa ndio azunguke afanye civic education na pesa yake? Tukisema tuanze party wanasema individual ambition, si basi muanzishe party yenu tujoin atleast tukue na structure inaeza provide alternative leadership?
“I am not going to try to please everyone. I will do my thing in good conscience, honesty, and vision. As for me and my followers, forward is the battle cry. I am not backing down and I am not focusing on the demeaning comments.
At the height of his activism, Morara had requested Kenyans to help him acquire public address systems to enable him to carry out civic education in the country.
To him, two sound system options, a top-tier setup costing Ksh1.2 million and a more modest one priced at Ksh838,200, were enough for his mission.
