Political activist-cum government accountability advocate Morara Kebaso’s political party, the Inclusion of National Justice Economic and Civic Transformation (INJECT) on Monday, December 2, 2024, suffered a setback after Kenya School of Law (KSL) president Joshua Okayo announced his exit.

Okayo pulled out of the party together with several others that had joined hands with Morara to come up with the party that had been considered as a youth movement that would change Kenya’s political scene in the coming 2027 general elections.

While announcing the exit, Okayo announced that the movement was bigger than any individual, and that team interests would override all individual interests that were being pushed from every corner.

Evans Kimori, Eddy Mambo, Kennedy Sankara and Ramogi Ochola are some of the youths that decided to walk out of Inject party with Okayo.

“We officially parted ways with the INJECT team, and announced the way forward for the movement. The movement is bigger than any individual. Team interests will override all individual interests being pushed from every corner. We remain a united front. The youth of this nation must unite to influence political decisions that affect our lives and livelihoods,” Okayo said in a statement shared via his official X account.

Morara has been at the forefront of advocating for civic education, government accountability, and social justice.

Morara’s INJECT party approved

The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) approved the first step in registering the INJECT as a political party about a month ago.

“Your application has been considered by law and the name Inclusion of National Justice Economic and Civic Transformation (INJECT) has been approved. The reservation of the name shall be for a period of not more than ninety (90) days from the date of this letter,” a notification from the ORPP dated September 27, 2024, read.

INJECT is the brainchild of Morara and was inspired by his style of doing civic education and bringing the government to account by exposing some of the stalled projects.

Soon after getting the ORPP’s approval, Morara made an announcement that his party would sweep parliament, senate and all elective seats in Kenya like a flash flood, in the next general election.

“INJECT Party of Kenya will sweep parliament, senate and all elective seats like a flash flood. People of Kenya, You are welcome to your office in Kahawa Sukari, Kiu River Road, 6th South Avenue. Pamoja Tujenge Chama,” Morara announced.

However, the latest development might send his party back on the drawing board.
