Morara Kebaso’s Exposés Are Kenya’s Best Shot At Ending Budgeted Corruption

In recent months, Kenya has been thrust into a unique position to confront a deep-seated issue that has plagued the nation for decades: budgeted corruption. At the forefront of this movement is Morara Kebaso, a young Kenyan patriot who has taken it upon himself to expose unfinished government projects that have already been fully paid for by taxpayers. These revelations are a testament to the rot within government circles and an undeniable call to action for every Kenyan who yearns for accountability and justice.

Corruption in Kenya is an old story that has been retold in different forms over the years. However, what Morara has exposed goes beyond the typical corruption cases; it highlights a systemic issue where billions of shillings are siphoned off under the guise of public projects. These projects, often touted as milestones by the very politicians who have embezzled the funds, are left unfinished, and the money—public money—is lost. The scale of this fraud is staggering, and its implications are severe, not only for the economy but also for the social fabric of the nation.

The case against President William Ruto and his government is particularly damning. Morara’s exposés suggest that these unfinished projects are not isolated incidents but are part of a larger, orchestrated effort to defraud the Kenyan people. Ruto’s government, which came into power with promises of accountability and development, has instead overseen what appears to be a massive looting spree, where funds earmarked for crucial infrastructure projects have disappeared without a trace.

It is within this context that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) must act decisively. Morara’s work has provided these bodies with a wealth of evidence to begin immediate investigations and arrests. The fact that these projects have been paid for in full, yet remain incomplete, is evidence enough of wrongdoing. The EACC and DCI should not wait for further prompting; the law is clear on what must be done when public funds are misappropriated. They have the legal and moral obligation to pursue those responsible, regardless of their position or political affiliation.

The opportunity before us is unprecedented. For the first time, a citizen-led initiative has exposed corruption on such a massive scale, and in real-time. This is not a retrospective investigation where evidence is buried under years of bureaucracy; it is an ongoing documentation of theft, where the culprits can be identified and apprehended almost immediately. Every Kenyan, therefore, has a role to play. The information provided by Morara should not be seen as mere social media content but as a blueprint for action. Citizens should document any unfinished projects in their areas and report them, creating a nationwide database of corruption that cannot be ignored.

What makes this moment particularly critical is the sheer audacity of those in power. The projects that have been exposed are not minor; they are significant public works that were supposed to improve the lives of millions. The fact that these projects were left incomplete after the funds were misappropriated is not just a betrayal of public trust but a crime against the people of Kenya. It is this brazenness that demands an equally bold response.

If Ruto and his government truly cared about the rule of law and the well-being of Kenyans, they would not only cooperate with investigations but would step down to allow for a thorough and unbiased inquiry. The fact that these projects were fully funded but remain unfinished under Ruto’s watch implicates him and his administration in the corruption. His resignation would be a first step toward restoring public trust and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice.

Moreover, the exposure of these fraudulent activities is a chance to change the narrative of governance in Kenya. For too long, the public has been resigned to the idea that corruption is an unchangeable part of life. Morara’s work challenges this notion by showing that with courage and determination, it is possible to hold even the most powerful to account. This is why every Kenyan must support his efforts. By doing so, we send a clear message that corruption will no longer be tolerated and that the era of impunity is coming to an end.

In the fight against corruption, documentation is key. As Morara has demonstrated, exposing the rot requires meticulous recording of evidence. It is through this process that the EACC and DCI can build solid cases against those involved. Kenyans should take this as a call to action: document any suspicious government project in your area, and report it. The power to end corruption lies in the collective action of the people.

As we stand on the brink of what could be a transformative moment for Kenya, the actions of Morara Kebaso should inspire us all. His bravery in exposing corruption has given us a roadmap to a better future. But this future can only be realized if we, as a nation, stand behind him and demand accountability. The EACC and DCI must act, and they must act now. The evidence is clear, and the mandate is obvious: arrest those involved, prosecute them, and recover the stolen funds.

Therefore, Kenya has been given a rare opportunity to root out corruption at its source. Morara Kebaso’s exposés are more than just revelations; they are a call to arms. It is up to us to ensure that this opportunity does not slip through our fingers. President Ruto and his government should resign to pave the way for impartial investigations, and every Kenyan must support the efforts to expose and document corruption. This is not just a fight for justice; it is a fight for the soul of our nation.
