The arrest comes barely a day after Kebaso publicly claimed that NIS had embedded a mole in his team. 

Activist Morara Kebaso was on Tuesday, October 8, picked by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), his lawyer Pareno Solonka announced.  

In an update on social media platform X, Solonka said Kebaso was bundled into a Subaru by DCI officers and taken to Lang'ata Police Station. 

"Quick update, the vehicle has gone to Langata Police Station. Morara is at Langata Police Station," the lawyer wrote on X.

Moments after his arrest, Kebaso said that he had been arrested with regard to the violent incident that happened at the Bomas of Kenya. 

"I have been arrested over what happened at Bomas. Can you imagine? Does it even make sense?" he posed.

This comes barely a day after Kebaso publicly claimed that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) had infiltrated his team with a mole.   

This assertion follows a series of troubling incidents, including a suspicious car accident in Embu, where the vehicle involved was registered to a company with an untraceable director and driver.

"When you search the CR12 of the company and check the directors, that is a dead end. The driver is someone we've looked for and we've not found him up to date. The car is still at Mukurweini Police Station," he said.

Kebaso's suspicions intensified after his arrest on September 30, which he believes was orchestrated by someone within his team who alerted authorities about his whereabouts. 

"When the DCI came to this office for an arrest, they did not guess, they didn't look for my office, remember this compound is so big with so many offices but they didn't look for my office, they came straight to my office as if they had the layout of the building," he added.

He noted that this individual conveniently missed key events, raising further doubts about their loyalty. 

"So the NIS placed a person in my team a long time ago. When you research this person's history you are not able to know which Primary School they went to, they wiped their profile clean," he stated.

Additionally, Kebaso reported a near-poisoning incident involving his food, which he narrowly avoided due to his growing suspicions.
