In a move that has sparked public interest and debate, Kebaso announced the party's name via a post on his X account, formerly known as Twitter, inviting Kenyans to weigh in on the name through a public poll.
The INJECT Party, as envisioned by Kebaso, is focused on ushering in a new era of national justice, economic reform, and civic empowerment.
The party's name encapsulates his vision for transformative change, addressing key issues such as economic inequality, social justice, and good governance.
By choosing the word "injection," Kebaso suggests that his party aims to infuse the political landscape with fresh ideas and bold reforms.
In his social media post, Kebaso also put forward the proposed party colors — green and gold. He explained the symbolism behind the colors, stating that green represents new growth, signaling the party’s intent to foster economic rejuvenation and prosperity.
Gold, on the other hand, is intended to represent a bright and hopeful future, aligning with the party’s vision of creating long-lasting progress for the country.
Kebaso went on to invite Kenyans to offer suggestions on alternative colors and provide feedback on whether they believe the name "INJECT" aligns with their expectations for a political party that promises real change.
By creating a poll, he opened up the decision-making process to the public, underscoring his commitment to inclusive governance and citizen participation.
However, the path to establishing the INJECT Party has not been without challenges. In an unexpected turn of events, the Registrar of Political Parties rejected Kebaso's initial attempt to register the party.
The Registrar expressed concerns that the name "INJECT" could be interpreted as divisive, particularly with regard to age groups, potentially alienating certain segments of the population.
The rejection marks a significant setback for Kebaso’s political journey, but he remains undeterred, seeking to address the concerns and reapply for registration.
This development comes on the heels of another controversy surrounding Kebaso’s use of the slogan "Kenya Ni Home" in his civic education efforts.
The slogan, which translates to "Kenya is Home," had been co-used by Kebaso and social media influencer Mercy Tarus.
However, a disagreement between the two recently surfaced, with Tarus accusing Kebaso of hijacking the slogan for political gain.
Tarus, a popular figure in her own right, publicly criticized Kebaso for what she described as a misuse of the "Kenya Ni Home" slogan.
According to her, the slogan is meant to unite Kenyans around the idea of a shared national identity and should not be exploited for individual political agendas.
"There is no single leader in this effort," Tarus remarked. "Kenya Ni Home and home must be respected."
Despite the hurdles, Kebaso remains optimistic about the future of the INJECT Party and his political vision for the country. His invitation to the public to participate in shaping the party’s identity signals his desire for an inclusive and collaborative political process.
Whether or not the INJECT Party will overcome its current challenges remains to be seen, but one thing is clear — Kebaso is determined to inject new energy into Kenya’s political landscape.
