Mugirango South Member of Parliament (MP) Silvanus Osoro has reacted to a bombshell decision by activist Morara Kebaso that he had quit politics.
In a statement on Monday, June 23, Osoro empathised with Morara, hinting that he could not withstand the publicity that comes with being in the political limelight across the country.
"Morara Kebaso, you are just okay. Leading people is not ABCD. Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't! Finding out early has helped you. This thing (of politics) is difficult. Now you know what we go through," stated Osoro on his Facebook page.
The Inject Party Leader— a polarizing figure online, both praised and criticized in equal measure — hinted on X that his choice to step away from his relatively new political journey was driven by the relentless criticism he regularly faced.

In his Monday social media rant, Morara also alleged that the media frequently misquoted him and that he constantly feared for his safety due to his emerging role in politics.
“Guys, I finally escaped politics. I can now live my life. I can do my biz, make my mulla, travel the world, see my friends, visit a bar and not worry about pictures. I’m free. Nobody can judge me if I dance the wrong way or smile the wrong way. 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,” Morara said.
He went on to say that he’s no longer bothered by online critics, especially those who, in his view, haven’t accomplished as much as he has at his age. He emphasized that he doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for how he lives or what he owns.
Kebaso also shared that stepping away from politics has allowed him to worship and preach without being accused of clout-chasing or faking his faith. He described quitting politics as a huge relief, admitting the pressure had taken a serious toll on him.
“I don’t have to care about social media or negative comments from people who haven’t achieved half of what I have achieved at a young age. Wow. Exhilarating. Absolutely fantabulous. I don’t need to explain to anyone the cost of my shirt, shoes, car, or house because it’s NONE OF BUSINESS. I can worship freely and preach the word of God without anyone thinking I am pretending or chasing clout. It’s such a relief. I was almost going mad.” he concluded.
The activist first rose to national prominence during the mid-2024 anti-Finance Bill protests, where he introduced a bold new approach to holding the government accountable. He devoted himself to crisscrossing the country, uncovering a series of abandoned government projects—some dating back to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration.
His grassroots campaign, largely funded by ordinary citizens who admired his work, eventually caught the attention of State House. In response, spokesperson Hussein Mohammed defended the delays, stating that several of the projects highlighted had either been cancelled or were in the process of being re-tendered.
As public debate around stalled government initiatives intensified, Morara was widely celebrated and quickly hailed as the face of a rising Gen Z political movement.
However, his rapid ascent wasn’t without challenges. One major incident was his physical assault at Bomas of Kenya during a public hearing on the proposed impeachment of then-Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Over time, cracks began to appear in his once-admired public image. Revelations that he was being pursued by the government over unpaid taxes raised eyebrows, while his repeated online appeals for financial aid led to increased skepticism and criticism.
His credibility further faltered in March 2025 when he announced that his newly formed party—Injection of National Justice, Economic and Civic Transformation (INJECT)—had aligned itself with the opposition coalition.
The controversy deepened in April after a photo surfaced showing him with individuals closely associated with the Kenya Kwanza government, fueling speculation that he was secretly backed by the state.
