Geoffrey Mosiria Vows To Challenge Sakaja In 2027 Following Dismissal, Claims Hard Work Cost Him His Job

Former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has declared his intention to teach Governor Johnson Sakaja a political lesson following his dismissal from City Hall, claiming that his high performance and dedication ultimately made his superiors feel threatened.

In a statement posted to Instagram on Thursday, October 22, 2026, Mosiria expressed confidence that county voters would vindicate him by electing him governor in the 2027 General Election.

“Nairobians will take away my shame next year!” Mosiria declared, adding: “I will teach my boss an important lesson: the best employees are supported, not fired for working hard.”

Past Praise vs. Recent Dismissal

Alongside his statement, Mosiria shared archival video footage featuring Governor Sakaja praising his work in the health department, specifically highlighting cost-saving measures implemented to establish an intensive care unit (ICU) without seeking additional funding.

Reflecting on the contrast between earlier official praise and his recent removal, Mosiria cautioned workers that public recognition does not always equate to job security.

“My hard work is what has cost me my job. When you see your boss praising you for working hard, just know that behind those kind words may be a plan to replace you,” he wrote, suggesting that employees who outperform expectations can unintentionally intimidate leadership.

Pledge to Nairobi County Staff

Addressing Nairobi County’s estimated 23,000 workforce, Mosiria promised administrative reforms and improved working conditions should he succeed Sakaja in August 2027.

“I have a plan to end their suffering from August next year,” Mosiria stated, asserting that county employees have been unfairly maligned due to systemic leadership failures and promising an environment free from political coercion.

Mosiria maintained that his mission to reform City Hall remains on track, leaving the final verdict to the electorate at the ballot box.
