Political activist and Inject Party leader Morara Kebaso has dismissed claims that he is a “state project,” saying such labels are often used to undermine emerging young leaders. Speaking on Nation FM, Morara said the term is a political strategy meant to discredit youth and deny them popular support.
He argued that both the government and opposition fear the potential of youth-led change, hence the narrative. “The government and opposition agree on one thing—that youth are dangerous to the system. Given a chance, they will dismantle it,” he said.
Morara cited retired Chief Justice David Maraga as another figure unjustly branded a “project,” saying even respected leaders aren’t spared from the label. “If Maraga can be called a project, who isn’t?” he questioned.
He further clarified that he has never been to State House or interacted with President Ruto in any capacity since 2018, when Ruto was still Deputy President.
On political alliances, Morara said he is open to supporting other leaders based on ideology, not personal gain. He remains a vocal critic of the Kenya Kwanza administration and a strong advocate for youth unification in the quest to lead Kenya’s next government.
