The DCI officers took him into custody from his office in Kahawa Sukari on Monday, September 30.
Morara was arraigned at Milimani Law Courts, where he faced charges of cyber harassment under Section 27 of the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act.
He was accused of posting false information about businessman David Langat, claiming that President William Ruto had deceived the former into lending him a significant sum of money with a promise of repayment.
