Activist and lawyer Morara Kebaso has taken a significant step toward entering the political arena by revealing the name of his new political party. In a statement shared on social media Thursday, Kebaso introduced the proposed name and asked for public input to finalize the party’s identity, including its colours.
Highlights
● Morara Kebaso suggests the name for his new political party as ‘Injection of National Justice, Economic, and Civic Transformation (INJECT) Party.’
● He has requested Kenyans to contribute ideas regarding the party’s name and colours.
● Kebaso’s move comes shortly after a public clash with fellow activist Mercy Tarus over the slogan ‘Kenya ni Home.’
Public Input on Party Name
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) account, Morara Kebaso revealed that the proposed name for his political party is “Injection of National Justice, Economic, and Civic Transformation (INJECT) Party.” He then created an online poll with options to either support or oppose the name, encouraging Kenyans to share their thoughts and suggestions.
“We propose the name ‘INJECT Party,’” Kebaso commented in his post. “The name reflects our vision for a prosperous future rooted in justice, economic empowerment, and civic responsibility.”
Kebaso also suggested the party’s colours should be green and gold. He explained that green symbolizes fresh growth and renewal, while gold represents prosperity. “Comment below for alternative ideas,” the lawyer added, inviting the public to contribute their thoughts on the party’s branding.
However, Kebaso noted that the Registrar of Political Parties had initially declined to ratify the party, citing concerns that it was divisive based on age demographics. The activist vowed to continue the process and ensure his political vision aligns with the legal framework.
Social Media Clash with Mercy Tarus
The announcement of the INJECT Party comes just one day after Kebaso was involved in a public dispute with fellow social media influencer Mercy Tarus over the use of the slogan “Kenya ni Home.” Both Kebaso and Tarus have been using the slogan in their civic education efforts but recently disagreed over its rightful ownership.
In a heated exchange on X, Mercy Tarus accused Kebaso of misusing the slogan and seeking political clout. “We agree on something; you go ahead and do the opposite and act ignorant,” Tarus wrote. “We might be facing the same enemy, but our reasons differ.”
Tarus continued by emphasizing that there should be no individual claiming sole ownership of the civic movement. “There is no such thing as a Messiah in this thing. It is a collective effort. Kenya ni Home and home must be respected!” she added, reinforcing the idea that civic engagement is a shared responsibility.
Background on Kebaso’s Political Aspirations
Morara Kebaso has long been a prominent figure in Kenya’s civic activism circles, frequently voicing his opinions on matters of justice, governance, and social equity. His decision to launch a political party is seen by many as a natural extension of his activism. Through his platform, Kebaso has championed causes such as economic reform, equal rights, and youth empowerment.
The formation of the INJECT Party is his attempt to bring those ideas to the national political stage, offering an alternative to Kenya’s traditional political landscape. If the party gains approval, it will compete in the next general election, where Kebaso is expected to push for policies focussing on economic growth, justice, and inclusive governance.
With his announcement, the public’s response to the proposed name and branding will play a crucial role in shaping the party’s final identity. As the country continues to grapple with social and economic challenges, Kebaso’s INJECT Party may offer a fresh perspective that resonates with many Kenyans.
