Mosiria: I will teach Sakaja an important lesson

Geoffrey Mosiria has vowed to teach Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja an important lesson after losing his county government job, claiming that his commitment to work may have contributed to his exit.

In a statement shared on Instagram on Thursday, October 22, 2026, Mosiria said he intended to return to City Hall as governor in 2027, promising to address challenges facing Nairobi County employees.

“Nairobians will take away my shame next year!” he declared, expressing confidence that voters would determine his political future.

His statement comes alongside an older video showing Sakaja praising his work, including remarks about the possibility of establishing an intensive care unit (ICU) without seeking additional funds.

In the earlier footage, Sakaja is heard praising the work being done, saying they could establish an ICU without looking for extra money.

“We can do an ICU without even looking for extra money. You know what I mean?” Sakaja said.

He also appeared to encourage those present to applaud the achievement, saying, “Tupige huo figana makofi.”

The footage offers a glimpse into an earlier moment when Sakaja publicly acknowledged the work being discussed. However, the video alone does not establish the circumstances surrounding Mosiria’s subsequent departure from county government.

Reflecting on his job loss, Mosiria suggested that recognition from a superior does not always guarantee 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.

He added that employees who outperform their superiors could make them feel threatened.

“I will teach my boss an important lesson: the best employees are supported, not fired for working hard,” Mosiria stated.

His remarks have brought attention to workplace relationships, recognition and the challenges employees may experience when their contributions appear to exceed expectations.

Mosiria also addressed the county’s 23,000 employees, promising to improve their working conditions if he assumes leadership in August 2027.

“I have a plan to end their suffering from August next year,” he wrote, adding that employees would not be forced to take bribes on behalf of senior officials.

He further claimed that workers had been made to appear as enemies of Nairobi residents because of what he described as a corrupt regime. These allegations were made by Mosiria and have not been independently established by his post.

Mosiria concluded that Nairobi residents would have the final say at the ballot box, maintaining that his mission to fix City Hall would continue.
