Geoffrey Mosiria Turns Down Commercial Job Offer, Focuses on 2027 Gubernatorial Campaign

Former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has turned down a corporate job offer from Mombasa-based automotive entrepreneur Haytham, popularly known as The Car Don, maintaining that his focus remains on public service and his 2027 Nairobi gubernatorial bid.

Haytham offered Mosiria a position at his dealership, Canon Motors, following Mosiria’s recent dismissal by Governor Johnson Sakaja, advising the former county official to exit politics and transition into commercial marketing.

“Come to Canon Motors. We work together… We do marketing together. Come to Canon Motors. We do advertisement together,” Haytham stated in a public message, promising Mosiria a dedicated corporate office.

Responding on Friday, October 23, 2026, Mosiria formally declined the employment offer, stating that accepting a full-time corporate role would interfere with his ongoing community outreach and political strategy.

“Thank you for the job offer. I truly appreciate the opportunity, and I would have loved to work with your company. However, the people of Nairobi have called upon me to serve them as their next governor, and I have a lot of work to do between now and next year,” Mosiria wrote.

Request for Branded Ambulance

Rather than taking up the job, Mosiria appealed to the dealership to support his social welfare initiatives by donating a branded ambulance to assist with emergency medical evacuations and community outreach across Nairobi.

“I want to dedicate more of my time to rescuing children being abused, those living on the streets, assisting sick people who cannot access medical care, and helping families in distress across the country,” Mosiria added. “Could Canon Motors Limited support me with a branded ambulance to facilitate my efforts to rescue and transport sick and vulnerable people to hospital?”

The exchange comes as Mosiria continues to build momentum for his 2027 campaign following his departure from City Hall earlier in the week.
