Lawyer Morara Kebaso has issued a public apology after a video showing him attending President William Ruto’s rally resurfaced online.
In the undated video, the lawyer could be seen in the background while Kisii Governor Simba Arati was addressing the crowd.
In an update on his X page on Wednesday, September 18, Kebaso admitted to meeting Ruto, however, noting that the rally took place months before the Gen Z protests.
The lawyer said he met Ruto on March 23, 2024, when the president visited his home area to launch a development project.
“At that time, I didn’t know that the project he had come to launch in my home area was a fraud. I was naïve like most of you at the time. It’s also important for all those who believe in me to know that I am not a content creator and I am not an activist. I am a leader and I did not start today I started when I was a child. I have developed my skills over time. I have stood by my values. I will remain accountable and honest whenever such questions are raised,” he wrote on X.
In a separate post, Kebaso asked Kenyans who support his cause for demand for better governance and accountability to forgive him for attending the rally.
“I want to be forgiven for attending one of his developmental tours because at that time I thought I was being patriotic and I never knew I was in the middle of a crime scene. Kwa hilo mnisamehe,” he wrote.
