Just days after publicly declaring his exit from politics, Morara Kebaso has had a dramatic change of heart. The Inclusive National Justice, Economic and Civic Transformation (INJECT) party leader now says he cannot turn his back on the country he loves citing a deep sense of duty to fight for a better Kenya.
Morara, known for his viral “Vampire Diaries” exposés highlighting stalled government projects, stunned his supporters less than two weeks ago when he announced that he was done with politics. In an emotional post on X, he said he was relieved to leave behind the pressures of public life, stating, “I can now live my life. I can do my business, make my money, travel the world, see my friends, visit a bar, and not worry about pictures. I’m free.”
He added that the scrutiny that comes with political office was overwhelming and that he was ready to embrace a more private, peaceful life. “I don’t need security. I can drive myself and race like hell. I don’t have to show up for TV interviews and get misquoted,” he said.
But in a surprising about-face, Morara now says quitting politics is not an option. He cited deep concerns about the country’s future, particularly for the next generation. “This is not the kind of country I want my children to grow up in. And I am not ready to move elsewhere because I like the food, the weather, the trees, and the people,” he stated. “Fighting for it is not a choice I should make; it is a duty I cannot avoid.”
His latest remarks signal a renewed political resolve rooted in patriotism rather than ambition. While he previously decried the judgment and mental toll of public life, it seems Morara is ready to face those challenges again this time, with a stronger sense of purpose.
As Kenya grapples with political uncertainty and rising public discontent, Morara’s return could signal a bold new chapter in grassroots activism and civic leadership.
