“The best way to kill a movement is to make the movement kill itself. Reduce and vilify the main characters. Make the public to doubt them so that there is no leadership or structure. That way you will only have noise but it will not be actionable noise,” Morara Quoted the Tyrant’s Book.

The young politician says the habit could be acting as a diversion, allowing the incumbent President William Ruto to continue staying in power.

“Listen Kenyans, you might be helping Ruto to stay in power by attacking each other on social media. You are self-destructing. Stop this cancel culture. Allow young leaders to emerge and learn from their mistakes,” he added.

This comes after the activist received a backlash after revealing that the vehicle he uses to traverse the country got spoilt and required Ksh150,000 for repairs.

“Hello Kenyans, your vehicle has a brakes problem we are being charged more than Ksh 150k for the actuator kindly help me get a better price. We have called 5 shops so far the cost is quite high. If we can get the motor part alone i will be grateful,” he stated.

“Most of you Kenyans are beggars like me. You beg for jobs. You beg your rich relatives. You beg for rent. You beg for food. You beg for money to refill gas. It is not your wish to beg. Most of you are educated and very hardworking. If I become your president we will all stop begging and start giving. Because I will fix the economy and finish corruption. Your businesses will be profitable and jobs will look for you. For now, Tubebane Beggar Kwa Beggar,” he said.
