Civic education advocate Morara Kebaso Snr has broken his silence following a road accident in Embu County.
The activist was returning to Nairobi after conducting civic education when his car was struck by another vehicle.
Though he emerged uninjured, Kebaso quickly left the accident scene using another car.
Addressing his sudden departure, Kebaso explained that he acted out of concern for his safety.
He expressed fears that his numerous enemies might exploit the minor accident to harm him further.
“After the accident, I quickly left in another vehicle because sometimes accidents are used to create chaos so that more sinister things can happen.
I don’t want to accuse anyone without evidence, but I feel my time is being counted,” he said.
Kebaso cited a long list of potential adversaries, ranging from government officials he has exposed to opposition figures, tribal leaders, and even contractors he has criticized for corruption.
“I have too many enemies to start guessing who might want to harm me.
There are government leaders, opposition figures, tribal chiefs, and presidential candidates who think I pose a threat to them.
The list goes on,” he noted.
He emphasized that he would review his security measures and avoid late-night meetings, while also expressing gratitude for surviving the incident.
“I am thankful to be alive, and I believe it’s for a reason, though I know one day my time will come,” he added.
Kebaso’s comments have sparked discussions about the safety of activists in the country, especially those involved in exposing corruption and promoting civic engagement.
