Activist Morara Kebaso is set to face charges of creating disturbance in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace.

According to the charge sheet, on October 4, at Bomas of Kenya in Langata subcounty within Nairobi County, while attending 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 was Tuesday arrested from his Kahawa Sukari office and taken to Langata for grilling over claims he disrupted a public participation event at the Bomas of Kenya.

He was detained at Hardy police station ahead of planned arraignment.

According to reports, it is alleged that he had arrived at his office when he was picked up by people reportedly in civilian clothes.

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.

His lawyer Pareno Solonka alleged that Morara was bundled into this Subaru and driven away.

A police officer aware of the incident stated that they were interrogating him over the chaos witnessed at Bomas. Morara’s social media handler asked Kenyans to pray for him.
