Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura joined his State House colleague Hussein Mohammed in criticizing lawyer and activist Morara Kebaso for alleging that he received a personal call from President William Ruto.
Morara referenced Mwaura on X (formerly Twitter) while reiterating his initial claims during the Wednesday edition of JKLive.
“I’m not going to follow the path of leaders who used to record the President or put him on speaker to prove a point. I don’t think that’s appropriate. Therefore, I won’t focus on proving whether or not it happened. Isaac Mwaura knows it happened. William Ruto knows it happened. That’s the end of it,” Morara wrote.
In a sharp rebuttal, Mwaura refuted the allegations and accused the young activist of dishonesty.
“Morara Kebaso, I’m unaware of any call from the President to you,” Mwaura responded. “Please examine your conscience and show some patriotism. I just happened to bump into you at KICC like any other citizen. Be honest with yourself.”
Morara stole the spotlight on Wednesday, August 28, when he claimed during an interview with Citizen TV’s Jeff Koinange that he received a job offer from the President.
However, he refused to disclose the details of his alleged conversation with Ruto.
His claims prompted an immediate response from Hussein, a former Citizen TV anchor, who called in to challenge the activist in a dramatic exchange that unfolded live on television.
“Many Kenyans have the President’s number, by the way. Let Morara provide proof that the President called him. He’s lying,” the former news anchor asserted.
Known for his outspoken nature, Morara has been leading an anti-government campaign by inspecting and exposing ongoing and stalled government projects.
According to him, his efforts are funded by well-wishing Kenyans who donate money, which he uses to fuel his car and tour the country to inspect projects launched by President Ruto.
The 28-year-old father of two has previously claimed that his life has been threatened due to his work, but he remains undeterred.
“If I worry too much, I won’t be able to do what I’m doing. What I’m doing is extremely risky. I’ve experienced situations where my phone is tracked, and vehicles with untraceable number plates linger around my home,” Kebaso noted.
