Nairobi, Kenya – March 7, 2025, 06:58 AM EAT – Kenyan activist and INJECT party leader Morara Kebaso has called for unity with civil society organizations, including bloggers and NGOs, in a public message posted on X early Friday morning. In a post directed at blogger Kimuzi, Kebaso emphasized the need to work together to address pressing national challenges, such as police brutality and youth unemployment, rather than engage in conflict.
Kebaso’s statement, made at 3:53 AM EAT, comes as Kenya navigates a politically charged atmosphere ahead of the 2027 General Election. He warned that if NGOs and their associated figures continue to oppose his movement, INJECT will expose alleged profiteering during the 2024 Gen Z protests, where young Kenyans took to the streets to protest the Finance Bill, police brutality, and government corruption. Reports from 2024 highlighted how these protests, initially youth-led and organic, faced accusations of being exploited for financial gain by some organizations, fueling public anger and online activism.
“Twitter is not a polling station. Real politics is on the ground,” Kebaso wrote, underscoring his focus on grassroots mobilization. He reiterated INJECT’s commitment to ensuring justice for police brutality victims, securing youth representation in governance, and prioritizing funding for job creation and entrepreneurship programs. The post also references Kebaso’s broader mission to reform Kenya’s political system, which he has criticized as inefficient and corrupt—a stance that has earned him both widespread support and legal challenges, including a 2024 arrest for cyber harassment related to his activism against President William Ruto’s administration.
Kebaso’s message to Kimuzi and other civil society figures is clear: “CEASE & DESIST” from picking fights and instead converge on shared goals, such as tackling the “dragon” of systemic issues plaguing Kenya. The post has sparked varied reactions on X, with some users expressing frustration over perceived external influences on youth movements, while others praised Kebaso’s leadership and vision for 2027.
This appeal for collaboration arrives as Kenya continues to grapple with the aftermath of the Gen Z protests, documented in reports like Democracy in Africa, which noted the role of online mobilization and police responses in shaping the movement. Kebaso’s INJECT party, established in 2024, positions itself as a vehicle for youth-driven change, drawing on his reputation as a fierce critic of the current government and advocate for democratic reform.
