Morara Kebaso’s estranged wife, Mercy Makini, has publicly rejected suggestions that she remains part of his family after the political activist described himself as a polygamous man.
Makini said she walked away from the relationship on March 2, 2026, citing allegations of domestic violence and insisting that she has since moved on with her life.
In a statement responding to Kebaso’s recent remarks about his marital affairs, Makini accused him of repeatedly dragging her name into his personal matters despite previously insisting that their relationship issues should not be discussed publicly.
She said her decision to leave was driven by what she described as domestic violence during their relationship.
“First, I walked away because of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,” Makini said, adding that she had chosen to leave while alive rather than remain in a relationship that she claimed had become abusive.
Makini further alleged that Kebaso physically assaulted her on several occasions, including while she was pregnant. She said the experiences eventually led her to decide that she had had enough and needed to rebuild her life away from the relationship.
“You know very well what happened, including the times you physically assaulted me while I was expectant,” she stated.
Makini said she left Kebaso’s home on March 2 and had not returned, arguing that his discussion of polygamy should not create the impression that she remains involved in his current family arrangements.
“As for this talk about polygamy, please stop creating the impression that I am still part of your life. Polygamy is your business, not mine. I left. I moved on. I am living my life,” she said.
She explained that she had remained silent for years because she wanted to keep their private matters away from the public. However, she said Kebaso’s continued references to her had forced her to respond.
Makini also addressed the legal dispute involving the two, saying she was not ready to discuss the case publicly but maintained that Kebaso was the one who sued her and that she only responded to the proceedings.
She said she had documents to support her account should the matter become necessary to discuss publicly.
“I kept quiet for seven years, hoping for peace, but the disrespect never stopped,” Makini said.
Makini concluded by asking Kebaso to address his affairs without involving her, reiterating that she had moved on and intended to keep her life separate from his.
The allegations of domestic violence remain Makini’s account and have not been independently established in the information provided.
