Attraction is often communicated through non-verbal cues, with body language revealing more than words ever could. If you’re trying to determine whether a woman is interested in you, observing her body language can give you valuable insights.

Despite being the victim of an attack by the crowd, police officers have accused Morara, along with other attendees, of making remarks that incited public reaction.

Specifically, Kebaso is accused of uttering the phrase "kufa dereva kufa makanga" (Swahili for "if the driver dies, the conductor dies as well"), which authorities claim led to a disruption of the peace.

Vocal critic

Kebaso, who has been vocal about government accountability, is well-known for his activism and has often been at the forefront of civic engagements.

His arrest was executed without a warrant, and he was promptly taken into custody.

The charge sheet indicates that the case was reported to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Langata, and Kebaso is currently being held at Kibera Law Courts pending a court appearance.
