Activist Morara Kebaso released on bail.

Lawyer-turned-activist Morara Kebaso was released on Tuesday on a cash bail of Ksh50,000 after being arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts. 

The High Court directed Morara Kebaso and his lawyers to appear for a hearing on Friday, October 4 at 2 pm. 

The decision came after the Director of Public Prosecution (ODPP) preferred charges against him, including cyber harassment contrary to Section 27 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act. 

According to the charge sheet presented to the court, Morara Kebaso was arrested for allegedly posting false information about David Langat.

The lawyer and activist has been charged with cyber harassment, accused of tarnishing and discrediting the reputation of businessman David Langat. 

The charge sheet alleges that Kebaso shared false information on his X account on September 28, 2024, with the intention of tarnishing Langat’s reputation. 

Kebaso’s security officer, identified as Geoffrey, shared details regarding the activist’s arrest on Monday, September 30, at his Kahawa Sukari office in Nairobi. 

He stated that the activist was arrested by six masked men, with only one man claiming to be a Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officer and showing a DCI identity card. 

Geoffrey further mentioned that Kebaso was handcuffed and had his phones and laptop taken away before being driven to the Regional Police Headquarters in a car with registration number KCQ 166J.
