Mosiria: Powerful forces frustrated my work at City Hall

Former Nairobi City County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria Former Nairobi City County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria says he endured a difficult working environment at City Hall, where he felt his efforts to serve residents were frustrated, even as he remained committed to his responsibilities.

Mosiria was replaced by Zipporah Njeri Mwangi in an acting capacity as Chief Officer for Public Participation, Citizen Engagement and Customer Service in the latest administrative changes announced by Governor Johnson Sakaja.

The former chief officer has now indicated that he is ready to seek the Nairobi governor’s seat, saying his experiences in the county administration have strengthened his desire to improve service delivery.

Without directly naming individuals he considers responsible for the challenges he experienced, Mosiria described a period in which his responsibilities changed significantly, and his efforts to address work-related concerns did not produce the outcome he had hoped for.
