Morara Kebaso Expresses Fear For His Life After Embu Night Accident: "I'm On A Clock"

• Political activist Morara Kebaso was involved in a tragic accident while returning to Nairobi from Tharaka Nithi
• He has claimed that his life is in danger after the incident since the allegedly drunk motorist fled the scene
• Morara has been actively inspecting stalled projects to which the government has allocated significant funds

Twenty-eight-year-old political activist Morara Kebaso continues to fear for his life following a Saturday night, September 20, car crash.

The businessman was travelling from Tharaka Nithi to Nairobi when an allegedly intoxicated driver lost control and swerved into his lane, colliding with his vehicle.

After the crash, the driver reportedly fled the scene, leaving his car behind.

Kebaso suspects that the driver's actions indicate a hidden agenda, especially given his recent efforts to investigate stalled government projects despite significant funding for their completion. He now claims that he feels his life is in danger after narrowly escaping death.

"I flew close to the sun but I am alive for a reason. Now I know I am on a clock," he said.

Has Morara's life been threatened before?

Weeks prior, Kebaso reported seeing an unregistered double cabin truck parked outside his home during the early hours of the Nane Nane march.

The vehicle's owners were unknown to him, which heightened his sense of unease. Since taking on the role of holding the government accountable, he says his family has increasingly feared for his safety.

Governor Kimani Wamatangi mourned him as a vibrant and promising young leader whose commitment and passion for serving the people of Kiambu was evident in every aspect of his work.
