Geoffrey Mosiria has once again found himself at the center of public ridicule, this time in Kamukunji, where he was humiliated in broad daylight.
The so-called Environment chief, who has built a reputation for his arrogance and lectures online, was left with no choice but to hide inside a truck when the very people he claims to serve turned against him.
The video circulating online shows the perfect example of how Kenyans are no longer buying into the deceit of government officials who pretend to be saints while engaging in questionable activities behind the scenes.
His fall from grace was not just expected but well deserved.
Francis Gaitho, a well-known critic, shared the video on his X handle, capturing the raw reality of what Mosiria has been reduced to. The public rejection he faced was not random. It was a direct response to the way he has been conducting himself in office.
Mosiria’s holier-than-thou attitude on social media has been nothing but a smokescreen to hide his real dealings, especially his extortion racket targeting bar owners.
For months, businesspeople have been complaining about his underhand tactics, where he allegedly demands bribes under the pretense of enforcing environmental laws.
The same Kenyans he oppresses daily were the ones who showed him that his fake righteousness does not fool anyone.The video from Kamukunji was proof that people are fed up with government officials who speak down to them while enriching themselves through corruption. Mosiria has used his position to intimidate businesses, forcing them to part with money just to continue operating.
His social media presence is filled with empty moral lessons and self-praise, yet behind the scenes, he is no different from the corrupt officials Kenyans have always rejected. His downfall in Kamukunji was a perfect example of how the public sees through deception.
The hostility he faced was not just about politics, it was about his actions catching up with him. Mosiria’s attempts to rebrand himself as a responsible leader have failed spectacularly.
His involvement in William Ruto’s campaigns in Kamukunji backfired, as the very people he sought to influence wanted nothing to do with him.
If he thought that appearing at a rally would improve his image, he was mistaken. Instead, he was chased away like an intruder, forced to take cover in a truck while the crowd made it clear that they wanted nothing to do with him. His disgraceful retreat symbolized how disconnected he is from the reality on the ground.
Francis Gaitho’s decision to expose the incident was a wake-up call for those still pretending that Mosiria has any credibility left. His online performances may fool a few people, but on the streets, where real Kenyans live and work, he is seen for what he truly is an opportunist using his position for personal gain.
His public humiliation in Kamukunji should serve as a warning to other government officials who think they can continue exploiting the people while pretending to be their saviors.
