Political activist and INJECT party leader Morara Kebaso has raised concerns over trust and accountability within Kenya’s political system, alleging that corruption spans both the government and opposition.
In posts on X, Kebaso recounted a personal experience that he says exposed hidden alliances among Kenya’s political elite.
Kebaso said he once confided sensitive information and documents to a senior opposition figure, hoping to collaborate on efforts to challenge President William Ruto’s administration.
He claims the leader was secretly aligned with Ruto, leaving him feeling deceived and politically exposed.
“In this country when you run away from William Ruto, you run into William Ruto’s proxy. You run away from Uhuru, you run into Uhuru’s proxy,” Kebaso wrote, highlighting what he perceives as the pervasive influence of government interests even within opposition ranks.
The activist further alleged that the opposition leader he confided in was linked to a tender at the Kenya Airports Authority worth Sh600 million.
He did not name the individual but suggested that those familiar with the authority would know who he meant.
The Kenya Airports Authority, a state corporation under the Ministry of Transport, has previously faced scrutiny over procurement and tender management, often drawing public attention to governance and transparency issues.
Kebaso warned that ordinary Kenyans bear the consequences of political maneuvering. “From that day I knew that we have a corrupt government and a crooked opposition. WANTAM or TUTAM, you are cooked,” he said, emphasizing that citizens continue to be affected by mismanagement and elite collusion.
His comments arrive amid ongoing debates about the credibility of opposition movements, political accountability, and transparency in Kenya, particularly as the country prepares for future electoral contests.
While his claims are based on personal experiences shared publicly, they reflect broader concerns about the alignment of political leaders, the influence of state-linked opportunities, and the challenges Kenyans face in finding genuine representation.
Kebaso’s revelations add to a growing public discourse on governance, reinforcing questions about the effectiveness and integrity of Kenya’s political system across party lines.
