Morara celebrates not asking for money
Morara on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, celebrated going for three months without asking for money online.
Taking to his official X account on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, Morara asked Kenyans to join him in the celebrations.
He further stated one day, Kenyans will come to change their attitude towards public fundraising, which he says plays a major role in preventing the election of corrupt leaders.
“Help me celebrate 3 months without asking for any donations from the public. I hope that someday you will change your attitude towards public fundraising and the role it plays in ending election of corrupt individuals,” Morara stated.
Morara on why he stopped fundraising
About three weeks ago, Morara took to his social media accounts to explain to Kenyans why he had stopped asking for money to fund his political activities.
In a statement issued via his official X account on Monday, January 13, 2025, Morara stated that his team had to pause asking for money online after feeling they were not giving people enough time to understand why they needed to fundraise.
According to Morara, he, together with his team, needed to give people time to develop trust.
“To those who are asking me why we stopped raising funds the answer is simple. We felt we were not giving people enough time to understand why we needed to fundraise. We needed to give people time to develop trust,” he stated.
He went ahead to hit at plans to resume the online fundraisers in the near future, with a different approach.
“To those who ask if we will raise funds in the future the answer is yes we will. This time it will be different. We have learnt from our mistakes,” he said.
