Youth activist and INJECT Party leader Morara Kebaso has urged Kenyans to embrace civic education, saying that true change in the country will only come from an informed and empowered public.

In a post shared on his X account on Thursday, August 21, 2025, he advocated for a hands-on, grassroots approach, where individuals take the initiative to educate their communities about civic responsibilities and the political process.

According to Kebaso, expecting accountability from politicians without citizen awareness is futile, as elected leaders are ultimately answerable to the public that chooses them.

By fostering widespread civic knowledge, Morara said Kenyans can drive genuine reform and hold those in power responsible for their actions

“Civic Education is the only thing that can change this country. The day we fold our sleeves and go out there like someone selling insurance knocking on doors and educating people is the day we will see some change. You cannot keep blaming politicians for stealing when these are their employers,” Kebaso stated.

Morara first gained national attention for his civic education campaigns that took him across different communities.

Questions later emerged about the money raised to fund these civic tours, and in July 2025, he publicly announced that he was quitting the campaign and refunding all contributions.

He set up a transparent refund process, asking anyone who had contributed to share their transaction details through M-Pesa so he could send the money back. For several days, he processed refunds and shared updates online, telling supporters that accountability and trust were more important than holding on to the funds.

Morara explained at the time that his decision to return the money was meant to bring closure and maintain his integrity.
