The post, which appeared on social media, flagged a fraudulent job ad where applicants were asked to submit their CVs and pay a fee of KSh 250 for supposed job placements.
The ad, claiming to recruit for major fields such as IT, education, and engineering, was falsely linked to the reputable PAWA 254 organisation.
Boniface Mwangi raised the alarm on Twitter, urging Kenyans to be cautious of the scam. He also tagged Safaricom, highlighting the phone numbers used in the con scheme.
This incident significantly affected Moraraโs reputation, leading to public scrutiny and resurfacing of the post years later.
In response, Morara explained in 2015 that his account had been hacked. “The hacker responsible was using IMEI number 46047113063474. Identified as Franklin Omondi,” he responded.
He reiterated this explanation when the post was unearthed recently, defending himself from accusations of dishonesty.
Despite his defence, some Kenyans have responded with scepticism, and many have humorously commented on the long-standing nature of the hacking claim.
The situation has rekindled the debate over Moraraโs integrity and the risks of online scams, raising questions about accountability and transparency within Kenya’s activism circlesโฆCLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLES>>>
