Nancy Odindo, a TUKO.co.ke journalist, has over four years of experience covering Kenyan politics, news, and features for digital and print media.

Inject Party leader Morara Kebaso has signalled a possible return to politics, barely two weeks after announcing his exit from the political scene.

Kebaso, who rose to national prominence through his civic education initiative, had declared his intention to run for the presidency before abruptly stepping back, citing the move as a form of personal liberation.

At the time, he expressed exhaustion from the pressures of political life—including security threats, media misrepresentation, and relentless public scrutiny—which he said had pushed him to the brink.

In his announcement, Kebaso also pledged to return the funds raised by Kenyans in support of his civic education program, stating that he no longer wished to burden the public.

However, in a shift of tone during a statement issued on Saturday, July 5, Kebaso declared that walking away was no longer an option.

“I have decided that this is not the kind of country I want my children to grow up in. And I am not ready to move elsewhere because I like the food, the weather, the trees, and the people,” he said.

“Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, fighting for it is not a choice I should make—it is a duty I cannot avoid.”

His statement ignited mixed reactions from the public, with some Kenyans teasing him online to return with a new paybill number, a tongue-in-cheek reference to his earlier fundraising efforts.

Kebaso has not formally confirmed whether he will revive his presidential ambitions, but his latest remarks suggest he is not yet done with the political arena.

"In the current situation that we are in as a country, politics is inevitable. We should fight all of us to make it great. Be that as it may, your only problem is decision-making. Don't rush to make important decisions. Just take your time."

"Wapatie paybill mkuu. They must contribute to the future of this country."

@Chaguas1

"Welcome back! You don't have to align with other political ideologies, but your presence is important to the country. Great nations are built by people with varying ideals. That is why Kenyans, especially so-called elites and intellectuals, should transcend beyond their cocoon of know-all or comfort!"

"Kuwa na msimamo, your followers sio choo unatumia as need be. If you’re going to need political support, come clear if you’re quitting come clear. Get out of the fences."

"Tupee paybill, please. Morara, you're the one sent from above to come and save our nation, Kenya. Other Kenyans and I are ready to contribute our money for your campaigns to run successfully."

In other news, Kebaso challenged young Kenyans to stop relying on retired politicians for leadership, urging them to believe in their capacity to lead.

He criticised the culture of online jealousy, clout-chasing, and baseless accusations, calling it self-sabotage.

Kebaso encouraged the youth to uplift one another and pursue political power. He emphasised that the government has space for all, highlighting the abundance of talent among young people.
