What Geoffrey Mosiria Told Sakaja in Defiant Video That Has Resurfaced After His Dismissal

A video showing former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria defiantly refusing to resign has resurfaced following his dismissal by Governor Johnson Sakaja. In the recording, Mosiria appears determined to remain in office unless formally removed by his superiors.

The footage captures Mosiria speaking from inside his car, where he directly addresses the possibility of being forced out of his position. His remarks suggest he was unwilling to surrender his job voluntarily amid growing tensions within Nairobi County’s administration.

“I cannot resign. If you don’t want me, fire me,” Mosiria declared in the video. He added that his superiors could issue a dismissal letter, promising to leave with evidence, a statement that has attracted renewed attention following his recent departure.

Mosiria’s remarks appear to have stemmed from an earlier reshuffle within the county government. The changes reportedly left him feeling targeted, prompting him to challenge the leadership rather than accept what he viewed as pressure to step aside quietly.

Despite his confrontational language, Mosiria maintained that his intention was not to fight his superiors. Instead, he portrayed himself as someone willing to speak openly about what he believed were serious problems affecting the county government and its operations.

He accused senior county officials of prioritising personal interests while ordinary employees continued experiencing difficulties. According to Mosiria, workers were suffering because essential services and administrative functions were not operating as expected under the county’s leadership.

“Nairobi County employees are suffering. There is nothing that is working in the city. The only thing working is people’s pockets around the senior bosses and the bosses,” he said, making allegations about the conduct of senior officials.

The claims painted a troubling picture of internal disagreements within Nairobi County, with Mosiria positioning himself as a critic of the administration. However, the allegations remain his own assertions and do not independently establish wrongdoing by the officials he referenced.

The resurfaced footage has drawn fresh interest because it provides context to the strained relationship between Mosiria and Sakaja’s administration. His earlier declaration that he would rather be dismissed than resign now appears particularly significant following the latest developments.

The disagreement also raises questions about how leadership changes and internal disputes are handled within county governments. Such conflicts can affect working relationships among officials and potentially complicate efforts to maintain effective public service delivery.

Mosiria had previously alleged that Sakaja removed responsibilities from his office and transferred them to junior officers. He described the move as procedurally improper, further illustrating the disagreements that had developed between him and the county leadership.

As the controversy continues, the resurfaced recording offers a glimpse into Mosiria’s position before his dismissal became public. His defiant remarks, accusations against senior officials and resistance to resignation have placed his dispute with the governor back in the spotlight.
