- Activist Morara Kebaso is crowdfunding Ksh.1.2 million for a mobile public address system to enhance his civic education campaigns.
- The initiative has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting his efforts and others questioning his intentions.
Morara Kebaso, a rising political activist known for his spot-on impersonations of President William Ruto, is expanding his public outreach efforts by investing in a Ksh.1.2 million public address system.
His goal is to counter President Ruto’s failed promises and physically reach more Kenyans through a mobile campaign-style setup.
To achieve this, Morara has turned to his supporters on social media, asking for financial contributions to help fund the purchase of the equipment.
In a recent post on his popular X account, Morara shared his plans, explaining that he has already raised Ksh.325,000 but still needs more to cover the costs.
He mentioned that he might use his old Land Rover Defender, which requires repairs, as the vehicle for his new public address system.

Morara assured his followers that these resources would be dedicated solely to civic education and good governance campaigns.
He also invited supporters to join him in organizing caravans to spread his message across the country.
However, Morara’s fundraising efforts have sparked mixed reactions online. While some supporters commend him for his dedication to activism and argue that financial support is necessary to sustain his work, others are skeptical.
Critics suggest that his initiative might be a way to siphon money from the public, questioning his transparency and intentions.
In response to the criticism, Morara defended his actions, stating that his conscience is clear and that contributors will soon see the results of their support.
He urged Kenyans to trust him and promised to publicize receipts, albeit with some information withheld for security reasons.
Morara’s appeal has reignited the debate about whether activists should seek public funding, with opinions divided on the matter.
Some believe that financial backing is crucial for activists to effect real change, while others fear it could lead to personal enrichment at the expense of the causes they champion.
