Fresh Divisions as Cop Shakur Accuses Activist Morara Kebaso of Being a Government Mole

Fresh divisions have emerged within Kenya’s growing anti-government movement after outspoken former police officer popularly known as Cop Shakur accused activist and politician Morara Kebaso of being a government mole.

In remarks shared by The Kenya Times, Cop Shakur alleged that Morara secretly works with President William Ruto’s administration despite branding himself as a strong critic of the government.

According to Cop Shakur, Morara rarely directs sharp criticism at President Ruto. Instead, he claims Morara focuses his attacks on activists, politicians, and groups that openly oppose the government.

“It is hard to see Morara attacking Ruto,” Cop Shakur claimed, adding that Morara appears more comfortable speaking negatively about those who challenge the government rather than confronting it directly.

The accusations have triggered intense debate on social media, with Kenyans split over Morara’s role in the current political landscape. Some supporters insist Morara is a fearless reformist exposing corruption and failed development projects across the country.

Morara Kebaso gained national attention after touring several regions to highlight stalled and abandoned government projects.

His activism resonated with many young Kenyans frustrated by corruption, rising taxes, and unmet promises under the Ruto administration.

He has repeatedly accused the government of mismanagement and failing to prioritise the welfare of ordinary citizens.

However, critics argue that Morara’s selective criticism has raised suspicion about his true political intentions. Some believe his frequent attacks on fellow activists and opposition figures weaken the broader resistance movement.

Cop Shakur himself became widely known during the Finance Bill protests after openly opposing government policies, a stance that made him a symbol of dissent within state institutions.

The public clash between the two figures now reflects deeper mistrust and fragmentation within Kenya’s protest movement.

As economic pressure continues to mount, many Kenyans are calling for unity, consistency, and honesty among voices claiming to challenge the government.
