Political activist Morara Kebaso, leader of the Inject Party of Kenya, has once again reached out to Kenyans for financial support, this time requesting donations to purchase vital equipment for his movement.
In his latest appeal, Kebaso is seeking funds to buy three computers and two large printers, which he says are necessary to further his activism and legal work.
In a candid social media post, Kebaso broke down the financial realities of his activism, explaining why he frequently turns to the public for donations.
According to him, activism requires substantial resources, from transportation to legal filing fees, making it a costly endeavor. He likened his efforts to those of prominent activists such as Okiya Omtatah and businessman Jimmy Wanjigi, both of whom, he noted, spend considerable sums on their activism.
“If you see Morara and the Inject team in Laikipia injecting change, it has cost money to get there. If you see Okiya Omtatah filing a case in court, it costs money for research, printing, and filing fees,” Kebaso wrote.
He further elaborated that organizing public demonstrations, concerts, or legal actions meant to drive change comes with additional expenses, including staging, sound systems, and security.
Kebaso, who relies heavily on small donations from Kenyans through Mpesa, acknowledged the challenge of constantly asking the same group of supporters for money.
He expressed concern over donor fatigue and the need to find creative ways to raise resources without overwhelming his supporters. To address this, Kebaso has also been selling Inject-branded sweatshirts at KSh 2,500 each to raise money for his cause.
As he continues to push for change, Kebaso urged Kenyans to rally behind his movement, emphasizing that the funds raised will go toward equipping his team of volunteer advocates.
“In fact, here is the Mpesa number, wekeni kakitu (send something), we want to purchase three computers and two large printers,” he wrote.
