He said that for a while, he had tried to ignore the attacks, but the situation eventually became overwhelming. According to him, the hurtful remarks and accusations left him feeling betrayed by the very people he believed he was fighting for.
“One of the most painful things that happened to me this year and last year was the social media bullying and the insults. For a while, I was able to assume, but it got to a point where it was too much. I felt betrayed by the people I was trying to fight for,” Kebaso said.
He explained that being called a conman and being trolled online made him question whether his efforts were worthwhile.
“I started feeling like, if the same people I am fighting for are not supportive of what I am fighting for, then afadhali hata niwachane nayo nirudi kwa biashara zangu. You caused me immense pain. I have never healed from that thing. Lakini nyinyi mlikuja mkanichafua mkaniita conman,” he said.

Despite the challenges, Kebaso noted that he has managed to recover and continue with his work. He admitted that the painful experience is still fresh in his mind, but he has chosen not to let it hold him back.
“However much I endured that pain, and I look back and I feel the pain from that moment, I have been able to move on. Leadership is a gift from God,” he stated.
Kebaso’s statement reflects the struggles leaders face when their efforts are misunderstood or misrepresented in public spaces.
As he moves forward, Kebaso emphasised that he draws strength from his faith and from the belief that leadership is a responsibility given by God. He said that despite the insults and the betrayal he felt, he remains committed to his journey.
