Kenyans Slam Kasmuel McOure For Staying Silent On Morara Kebaso Attack At Bomas, Calling Him A 'Sellout'

Singer-turned-activist Kasmuel McOure is facing backlash from a section of Kenyans for his silence on the violent attack against Morara Kebaso, despite being given the platform to address the crowd at Bomas.

Many critics accuse him of aligning himself with the government, calling out his perceived detachment from the struggles of the disenfranchised Gen Z he claims to represent.

Shortly after Morara was forcefully ejected from the Bomas of Kenya hall following an assault by an enraged mob, Kasmuel took the microphone, not to condemn the violence, but to share his thoughts on the Gachagua impeachment.

Many had, however, expected that Kasmuel would, first and foremost, address the Morara attack, condemning the goons and expressing his sympathy to his fellow youthful activist.

But instead of castigating the people behind the Morara ambush, and outrightly denouncing the senseless violence meted out to him, Kasmuel went straight to the politics of the day, appearing to be speaking the same language with the members of Parliament.

Without wasting time, Kasmuel went into full Kasmuel mode, waxing lyrical on his reasons as to why Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua should leave office, not once mentioning that President William Ruto too, who he has steadfastly been fighting against, should also leave his seat.

As he spoke, Ruaraka MP TJ Kajwang can be seen standing behind him, proudly smiling as if witnessing the scholarly excellence of his own son.

“Gachagua must go!” Kasmuel roars. “Ndio tumalize ukabila Kenya, ndio tumalize shareholders, ndio tumalize siasa ya kuchanganya watu, Gachagua must go!”

Dagoretti South MP John Kiarie, who is seated right behind the podium, is also seen clapping and nodding at Kasmuel’s propositions.

Soon after the video made rounds online, many Kenyans took to their X accounts to call out the activist, terming him a sellout for failing to articulate things that matter most to the common mwananchi.

“Kasmuel went on that stage and spoke the language of our oppressors. He spoke just like them. He sounded just like any other Kenyan MP. Is this the same dude we went to the streets with? Oh, how quickly people change!” Stephen Mutuku wrote.

Someone else said, “Instead of addressing the Morara Kebaso situation, Kasmuel went there to politic. He claims to represent the Gen Z and young Kenyans and still couldn’t spare a minute for Morara? Sellout!”

On his part, Morara’s lawyer Pareno Solonka said, “Kasmuel is a sell out and you now realize why him, kina Tarus and so many yappers here have been fighting Morara. Morara is the only young person WHO HAS NOT BEEN BOUGHT AND IS STAYING TRUE!”
