The truth is often bitter, but Morara Kebaso is serving it straight, no chaser. The fiery human rights activist has launched a blistering attack on the Kenyan electorate, declaring that those who vote along tribal lines are actively choosing their own poverty and suffering.

In a political landscape defined by ethnic mobilization, Kebaso’s words cut through the noise like a razor. He argues that the recurring cycle of bad governance, corruption, and economic stagnation is not an accident—it is a choice made at the ballot box. By prioritizing "our person" over competence and integrity, voters are signing a five-year contract with mediocrity.

The Cost of Loyalty

"You cannot vote for a thief because he speaks your language and then cry when he steals your future," Kebaso asserted. His critique goes beyond the politicians to the citizens themselves. He challenges the cognitive dissonance of a voter who cheers for a corrupt leader at a rally and then complains about the lack of medicine in the hospital the next day. It is a harsh mirror held up to the face of the nation.

Kebaso links tribal voting directly to the economic indicators that plague the common man. The lack of jobs, the high cost of living, the crumbling infrastructure—these are the dividends of tribal loyalty. He posits that the political elite use tribe as a smokescreen to loot across the board, united in their greed while the voters remain divided in their poverty.

• The Thesis: Tribal voting is the root cause of Kenya's governance crisis.
• The Consequence: Electing based on ethnicity guarantees a lack of accountability and perpetuates systemic corruption.
• The Call to Action: A radical shift in voter consciousness ahead of the 2027 elections, prioritizing policy over pedigree.

Awakening the Electorate

Kebaso represents a growing wave of civic education that seeks to deconstruct the tribal narrative. His message resonates with the youth, a demographic that is increasingly disillusioned with the ethnic kingpins of the past. However, breaking the stranglehold of tribal politics is a monumental task.

As the drums for the next election cycle begin to beat, Kebaso’s warning stands as a prophetic caution. If Kenyans continue to vote with their tribes rather than their brains, the result is guaranteed: another season of poverty, wrapped in the flag of ethnic pride.
