Geoffrey Mosiria, the Chief Officer in charge of Environment in Nairobi County, is once again at the center of a troubling controversy.
A recent TikTok livestream that he conducted has sparked public anger and disbelief after a young street boy claimed he was paid KSh 1,800 to move 32 dead bodies to the mortuary.
The boy made the shocking confession while speaking on camera but was suddenly cut off when the camera was switched off midway through the conversation, raising immediate suspicion that Mosiria was trying to hide something serious.
The incident occurred days after the Gen Z-led protests on June 25, which saw chaos in Nairobi’s streets.
Many Kenyans are now asking how 32 bodies could have gone unnoticed and why Mosiria would interrupt such a critical moment unless he had something to cover up.
The boy, wearing an orange jacket and appearing visibly shaken, directly mentioned Governor Sakaja in his story, claiming that the money he received was for taking the bodies to the mortuary.
The moment he mentioned the word “bodies” and “32,” Mosiria abruptly ended the stream, causing alarm among viewers. The timing and manner in which the camera was turned off only deepened concerns.
Instead of clarifying or assuring the public, Mosiria has remained silent on the matter, which many now see as a deliberate effort to suppress evidence or at the very least control the narrative.
Public reactions on social media platforms like X have been fierce. One user, @Mabonga_254, directly asked Mosiria why he cut the camera feed.
Another user warned that if anything happens to the boy, Mosiria would be held accountable.
Others called for an immediate investigation into the boy’s claims and urged for a rollcall of missing persons.
While some skeptics questioned the boy’s story, the urgency and consistency of his narration left many convinced that his statement may be based on real experiences.
Instead of encouraging transparency, Mosiria’s actions have made people fear for the boy’s safety and raised fresh concerns about what might really be going on behind closed doors in city operations.
Mosiria has tried to brand himself as a people’s officer by feeding street families, rescuing children, and cleaning up the CBD. But these staged acts now appear to many as nothing more than calculated PR stunts to mask what critics call his incompetence and hunger for clout.
His past actions, including recent clashes with hawkers where he came off as arrogant and dismissive, add to growing public frustration. For someone tasked with protecting the environment and interacting with Nairobi’s most vulnerable, Mosiria has demonstrated disturbing disregard for accountability and human dignity.
The fact that he thought it was acceptable to shut down the camera when a minor was making potentially explosive revelations is not just questionableit’s cowardly and possibly criminal.
The matter has now grown beyond one street boy’s story. It has opened a larger conversation about the treatment of street children, the cover-up of protest-related deaths, and how Nairobi officials manipulate media to hide their tracks.
If there were indeed 32 bodies transported by minors, that is not only a tragic failure of the city’s systems but also a potential human rights violation.
The silence from Governor Sakaja’s office and the Nairobi County administration shows a total lack of seriousness in addressing the issue.
His decision to switch off the camera may have been an attempt to escape scrutiny, but it has only drawn more eyes to him.
