Outspoken civic activist turned entrepreneur Morara Kebaso has today unveiled a multi-million-shilling Morara Home Furniture showroom in Utawala, marking a major milestone as his flagship brand celebrates six years in business.
The grand opening of the three-storey, glass-fronted outlet along Eastern Bypass near Fun City positions the brand as one of Nairobi’s fastest-growing home furniture retailers. The expansive showroom spans over 18,000 square feet, showcasing a wide range of premium and custom-made furniture pieces.
Customers can browse everything from Italian leather sectional sofas and solid mahogany dining sets to children’s bunk beds and ergonomic office furniture, with prices ranging from KSh 18,000 for accent chairs to KSh 4.2 million for limited-edition, hand-carved four-poster beds sourced both locally and from Indonesia.
Speaking during the launch, the 31-year-old entrepreneur—who rose to national prominence during the 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests—described the new outlet as proof that Kenyan youth can convert activism into enterprise.
“This is evidence that young Kenyans can turn anger into assets,” Morara said. “Six years ago, I started with just KSh 350,000 and a small loan from my mother, operating from a tiny container along Kangundo Road.”
Morara revealed that Morara Home Furniture was founded in 2019, initially operating from a 200-square-foot container, before expanding rapidly as demand grew.
The Utawala branch becomes the company’s fourth physical outlet, joining existing stores in Ruaka, Kitengela, and Mlolongo.
According to company records filed at the Registrar of Companies, Morara Home Furniture Limited posted a KSh 187 million turnover in the financial year ending June 2025—up sharply from KSh 62 million the previous year. Net profits also crossed KSh 40 million for the first time.
The latest expansion cements Morara Kebaso’s transition from street activism to boardroom success, positioning his brand as a rising force in Kenya’s competitive furniture market.
