Morara Kebaso, the youthful political activist cum furniture dealer celebrated for exposing abandoned projects across the country, is at a crossroads following allegations of conmanship levelled against him.
In an emotional statement released on social media on Saturday, the political activist promised to refund his supporters who may feel cheated, citing he only wanted to safeguard his integrity.
“I cannot continue to [spoil] 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,” Mr Kebaso said on X.
This came even as he expressed his gratitude for the support he had so far received from Kenyans.
To facilitate the refund process, he encouraged anyone seeking reimbursement to submit the original M-Pesa message they received upon their contributions.
“Please comment below with the M-Pesa message. I will check if it’s real, refund you in full with a top-up for withdrawal then I will copy paste my refund message below your comment,” Mr Kebaso explained.
He urged caution, saying, “Kindly avoid faking any message because I have all messages from the day I started. The M-Pesa number has always been 0708985611 so this will not be hard to do.”
In his statement, he also reflected on the broader political landscape, suggesting that many Kenyans have already made clear their vision for the future.
“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 the country they want to live in,” he remarked.
This development comes after videos emerged showing Mr Kebaso alongside President William Ruto during several development initiatives in Kisii, prompting critics to question his genuine loyalties and motives.
