“Mimi na dustbin nani alikuta mwingine hapa?” Fearless Nairobi hawker confronts Mosiria

Nairobi chief officer Geoffrey Mosiria is really facing it tough from the city hawkers. His job of managing the streets and ensuring order is becoming more difficult by the day.

Every attempt to restore sanity in areas where hawkers operate has been met with resistance, and not all traders are willing to cooperate.

Some people feel that the enforcement is too harsh and view it as impunity, while others are slowly agreeing to follow the rules and work with the county officers.

The latest incident showing just how tough Mosiria’s work has become is now spreading fast on social media.

A video that has gone viral shows a female hawker boldly confronting Mosiria after he tried to remove her from her selling spot.

What makes the video stand out is how the woman remained firm and refused to move, even when Mosiria approached her calmly and with respect.

She was selling her goods right next to a dustbin, which blocked access for members of the public who needed to use it.

Despite this, she insisted that she had every right to be there.In the video, Mosiria can be heard politely asking the woman to move to a more appropriate place.

But the woman quickly fired back, saying that she was there before the dustbin was placed at that spot. She even went as far as saying that it’s the dustbin that should be removed and not her.

Her reaction shocked many, not because she was aggressive, but because she genuinely believed she was in the right. She seemed upset and wanted to be left to do her business in peace.

This confrontation has raised more questions about how the county government is handling the issue of hawkers in Nairobi. While some believe Mosiria is only doing his job, others feel that the county should first provide proper alternatives before sending hawkers away.

Many people think the problem is bigger than just individuals fighting over space. It reflects the daily struggle of many poor traders trying to survive in a city that has fewer opportunities for them.

The video has already been shared widely, with screenshots and clips posted on Instagram and other platforms. It shows how complex and emotional the issue has become, and it leaves many wondering whether Mosiria can ever truly win this battle against disorder without pushing the poor further into suffering.
