Youthful politician and businessman Morara Kebaso has publicly appealed to married couples to use social media platforms to share positive stories about their relationships.
The call aims to inspire hope and counterbalance the increasing volume of negative content concerning marriage circulating online.
Kebaso made this plea on 29 September, mere weeks after he and his family welcomed a new member.
A New Chapter Inspires Call for Hope
The politician recently celebrated the birth of his son, Morara Kebaso Junior. On 31 August, Mr Kebaso shared a poignant message on his Twitter account while holding his newborn.
He wrote a dedication to his son, declaring him "strong" and "powerful". The blessing also stated that "Even fear will be afraid of you". Mr Kebaso supported this message with a quote from Genesis 12:22.
Weeks later, he used his platform to highlight a worrying trend regarding relationship narratives online.
The Silence of Success
Mr Kebaso argued that couples whose marriages are genuinely successful often remain silent. This silence is leaving a void that is being filled by negativity.

He raised concerns about how young people, who are "trusting God for a partner," can believe that marriage works if successful couples are "hiding what the Lord is doing" in their lives.
“Those whose marriages are working are quiet. How will young people who are trusting God for a partner know that marriage works?” he questioned.
Mr Kebaso noted that social media currently seems dominated by negative vibes. He stated that when single people browse online, they often encounter only "negative videos of people saying how marriage is a failure".
Fighting the Negative Vibe
The politician used strong language to critique the pervasive negative trend, referencing a widely used slang phrase.
He insisted that there is a dire need for greater positivity on social media. He believes that the public is allowing negative influences to dampen the spirit.
“Now, when singles go to social media, they only see negative videos of people saying how marriage is a failure. We need positivity on social media. We are allowing negative people to dampen our spirit.”
Mr Kebaso shared his personal experience, noting that he had stopped watching traditional news channels due to the overwhelming negative focus.
He cited examples such as coverage of corruption scandals, fatal accidents, and "politicians fighting at a funeral".
Personal Testimony
To demonstrate his conviction, Mr Kebaso shared a brief personal testimony concerning his own marriage.
“Mimi Morara, marriage imenibamba na mimi si fala.”
He concluded his appeal by stressing the importance of sharing good news. He urged people to "say the good things the Lord is doing in our lives". This, he argued, is necessary "to give hope and courage to others".
