Political activist and INJECT party leader Morara Kebaso has reignited debate on trust and accountability in Kenyan politics after alleging that corruption and hidden alliances extend across both government and opposition ranks.
In a series of posts on X, Kebaso claimed his own experience exposed what he described as a political system that leaves ordinary citizens without genuine representation.
Kebaso said his concerns emerged after he privately shared sensitive information and documents with a senior opposition figure, believing the engagement would help build a coordinated challenge against President William Ruto’s administration.
According to Kebaso, the expectation of collaboration later collapsed when he realised the leader he had trusted was, in his view, aligned with the very government he opposed.
“In this country when you run away from William Ruto, you run into William Ruto’s proxy,” Kebaso wrote, adding that similar dynamics existed during former president Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure.
He described the experience as a personal lesson that reshaped his understanding of Kenya’s political landscape.
The INJECT party leader went further to accuse both sides of the political divide of benefiting from state-linked opportunities.
He alleged that the opposition leader he confided in was associated with a Kenya Airports Authority tender valued at Sh600 million.
Kebaso warned that popular political slogans and alignments, including those associated with rival camps, ultimately fail to protect citizens from poor governance.

“From that day I knew that we have a corrupt government and a crooked opposition,” he said, concluding that ordinary Kenyans are the ones who suffer while politicians protect their interests.
His remarks come amid growing public dissatisfaction with political leadership, rising cost-of-living pressures, and ongoing debates about the credibility of opposition movements ahead of future electoral contests.
