Political activist Kebaso Morara has raised concerns about the direction Kenya’s opposition is taking, saying it has no real vision for the country. In a video he posted on Saturday through his social media platforms, Morara said the only goal that seems to drive the opposition is removing President William Ruto from power.
According to him, this goal alone is not enough to convince Kenyans, especially the youth, to rally behind the opposition.Morara warned young Kenyans to be alert and not fall into what he called a trap.
He believes the opposition is more focused on tribal alliances and political power plays than offering real solutions to the problems facing the country.
He said what Kenya needs is a new way of thinking that goes beyond removing a president or fighting one man. Instead, he urged the youth to focus on bigger issues like corruption, joblessness, and lack of justice for victims of police brutality.
In his message, Morara made it clear that the youth should not be swayed by opposition leaders who he says are uniting without offering a plan for Kenya’s future. He told them to think about the direction the country should take and what role they can play in building that future.
He questioned what the opposition stands for when it comes to key matters like fighting corruption or creating job opportunities for the many young Kenyans who are losing hope every day. He stressed the need for a clear and practical plan to fix the economy and deliver justice, instead of empty slogans and tribal politics.
His comments come at a time when he has been seen associating with various opposition leaders. Morara recently attended the launch of Martha Karua’s new political outfit, the People’s Liberation Party (PLP), which was attended by several opposition figures including Kalonzo Musyoka of Wiper, Eugene Wamalwa of DAP-K, and even Rigathi Gachagua, the former deputy president who is yet to form his own party.
Just days later, Morara had a private meeting with Gachagua, raising questions about his political intentions and whether he is truly separate from the opposition camp.
When questioned about his actions, Morara explained that he was willing to talk to any leader who had Kenya’s best interests at heart. He defended himself by saying that listening to someone does not mean agreeing with them.
His answer to an X user, Osama Otero, was simple and direct “Yes, ni mimi. I went. I sat. I listened then I walked away.”
Morara’s recent statements and moves show that while he is open to dialogue, he does not fully support what the current opposition is offering.
He seems to be pushing for a new approach in Kenyan politics, one that is not based on tribal alliances or political survival, but on real solutions for the challenges the country is facing.
