Morara Kebaso, a 28-year old lawyer and businessman has ignited the internet after his near-perfect imitations of President William Ruto started going viral.<\/p>\n
Kebaso, who was virtually unknown just a few weeks ago, has quickly become the internet\u2019s darling, quickly racking up over 50,000 Tiktok followers in a matter of days.<\/p>\n
The young businessman, who runs Morara Home Furniture and employs over 85 people, came up with the idea to impersonate President Ruto, not only nailing the speech and mannerisms but also bringing along a couple Ruto signatures \u2013 Kaunda suits and sunroofed Prados.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always had this suit with me. It had been sitting in my closet. So, when I came up with the idea to impersonate the President, I simply went back to the closet and wore the suit,\u201d Kebaso says.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, it was long-sleeved. So, I had to take it to the tailor to shorten the sleeves just like the President.\u201d<\/p>\n
Besides speaking on top of a car, a habit the President loves, Kebaso also directly \u2018addresses the nation\u2019 by speaking behind a podium, complete with the coat of arms.<\/p>\n
One of his most popular videos on Tiktok, where he mimics President Ruto giving a speech to the nation, has been viewed over 1 million times and likes by tens of thousands.<\/p>\n
\u201cI did not expect this kind of reaction,\u201d he says. \u201cIt just happened. I was not even on Tiktok, I just joined in July and quickly got thousands of followers. Clearly, Kenyans can resonate with my content.\u201d<\/p>\n
While he still insists that he is not a content creator, Kebaso says that his duty it to inform the masses in a language they can understand.<\/p>\n
\u201cRuto loves speaking to Kenyans from the top of cars. That\u2019s why I adopted the same style to communicate my message,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am trying to reach the common mwananchi by not just entertaining them but also educating them creatively. It\u2019s my way of passing around civic education.\u201d<\/p>\n
