Morara Kebaso reverses decision to quit politics weeks after announcing exit.
Weeks after declaring he was done with politics and activism, INJECT party leader Morara Kebaso has made a dramatic U-turn, saying he’s not going anywhere.
The civic voice behind Kenya’s sharpest online exposés now says the decision to quit was premature. “I’ve realised I can’t walk away while the country’s bleeding,” he said in a newly released statement.
“It’s Not a Choice. It’s a Duty.”
Kebaso, famous for his no-holds-barred social media series “Vampire Diaries,” said the turning point came when he reflected on the kind of Kenya his children might inherit.
“I have decided that this is not the kind of country I want my children to grow up in. I am not ready to move elsewhere. I love the food, the weather, the trees, and the people.”
He declared.
“Fighting for it is not a choice. It’s a duty.”
When he bowed out earlier this month, Kebaso said he needed peace and privacy. The activist cited constant police surveillance, exhaustion, and frustration as reasons for stepping back.
He hinted he wanted to reclaim his personal life after years of being in the spotlight.
Morara Kebaso rose from the digital space to national recognition through his widely circulated “Vampire Diaries” short, fiery exposés uncovering abandoned projects, inflated budgets, and corruption in public service.
His content sparked both praise and criticism, but kept government officials on their toes.
Now, with the pressure seemingly reignited, Kebaso is back in the trenches, promising to push even harder for accountability and change.
This reversal sends a clear message: for him, the mission isn’t over, it’s only evolved.
