Activist Morara Kebaso has been released on police bond after his arrest over his appearance at the Bomas of Kenya during the public participation event to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
According to the charge sheet, Morara is set to face charges of creating peace in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace.
He was arrested from his office and detained at Langata police station for grilling before he was taken to Hardy police station.
This was after he had been informed of his charges.
His lawyers followed him to Hardy where they negotiated his release pending arraignment.
Lawyer Cliff Ombeta confirmed Morara had been released.
He said Morara will go back to the Langata police station on October 15 for planned arraignment.
“We are driving out of the station now until October 15 to know the way forward. He is free,” he said.
According to the charge sheet, on October 4, at Bomas of Kenya in Langata subcounty within Nairobi County, while attending a public participation forum to impeach Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua with others, not before the court, Morara did create disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by uttering the words "kufa dereva kufa makanga” which made the public to react to the utterances.
Morara claimed that he was arrested over claims of disrupting the public participation event on the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua last Friday.
“I have been arrested over what happened at Bomas. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Does it even make sense jamani? What is this now? Ni nini hii? Ah,” he stated on his X account.
