NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 1 – Lawyer and accountability activist Morara Kebaso was arraigned in court on Tuesday over cyber-related charges after social media posts on President William Ruto.
Kebaso denied the allegations and was released on a Sh500,000 bond, with the case scheduled for mention on October 4.
Outside the Milimani court, dozens of protesters rallied, chanting “Free Morara.” Kebaso was arrested on Monday by DCI detectives and escorted to court under tight security.
Heavy police presence was noted at the courts and throughout the city as activists threatened to mobilize major protests demanding his release.
Kebaso gained attention on social media for highlighting unfinished government projects and questioning why Ruto continues to launch incomplete initiatives.
