The Feud Between Mercy Tarus and Morara Kebaso

Wueh! Today X has witnessed a battle between two X heavyweights Morara Kebaso and Mercy Tarus. The two have engaged in a war of words that has left Kenyans divided over who to support

But what happened exactly?

The feud has emerged within the anti-government movement that initially united activists against Kenya’s controversial 2024 Finance Bill.

The conflict pits two prominent activists, Morara and Mercy with each accusing the other of hijacking the movement’s agenda.

A United Front—At First

Initially, on September 8, the two activists seemed to be on good terms. Both were using “Kenya Ni Home” in their messaging, with Morara sharing a post about the movement shaking the country to its foundations, to which Tarus responded positively.

However, things took a turn when Morara began discussing the possibility of changing the slogan, suggesting it was already being used by another group.

What Sparked the Feud?

The tension revolves around the use of the slogan “Kenya Ni Home,” with both Morara and Tarus claiming ownership of the phrase.

This slogan, which has become a key symbol of the anti-government movement, is now at the center of a leadership struggle between the two.

Both activists lead separate civic education initiatives, each using the slogan in their recent online campaigns.
