Geoffrey Mosiria Receives Heroic Welcome in Eastleigh as Crowd Chants His Name

Former Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria attracted attention on Friday, October 23, after arriving at the scene of a building collapse in Eastleigh, Nairobi.

Mosiria received a warm reception from residents who had gathered at the scene following the collapse of a building that was still under construction. The incident sparked concern among locals, with emergency teams rushing to the area to assess the situation and begin rescue operations.

A video shared on social media captured the moment Mosiria arrived at the scene. Residents could be seen cheering as he made his way through the crowd, with some lifting him above their heads in excitement.

The former county official appeared to draw considerable attention from the people gathered around the collapsed structure. In another moment captured in the footage, Mosiria was seen being transported on a boda boda as residents followed him through the area.

His arrival came at a time when rescue teams were working to establish whether construction workers and other people had been trapped beneath the rubble.

The building reportedly collapsed along 9th Street in Eastleigh, leaving behind a large pile of debris. Emergency responders were deployed to the scene as authorities worked to coordinate rescue efforts and establish the extent of the damage.

The incident attracted a large crowd of residents and onlookers, prompting efforts to control movement around the affected area and create room for emergency personnel.

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja was also present at the scene as rescue operations continued.

Mosiria’s visit attracted further attention because it came shortly after his removal from his position as Nairobi County Chief Officer for Public Participation, Citizen Engagement and Customer Service.

The changes were announced on Wednesday, October 21, with Zipporah Njeri Mwangi taking over the responsibilities in an acting capacity while retaining her existing role in City Culture, Arts and Tourism.

His removal followed his announcement that he intended to contest the Nairobi gubernatorial seat in the 2027 General Election.

Despite the changes at City Hall, Mosiria has continued to attract public attention through his activities and engagements.

Meanwhile, rescue efforts at the Eastleigh building collapse scene continued as authorities sought to establish the number of people affected by the incident.

The cause of the collapse had not been established at the time of reporting, while concerns remained over the possibility of people being trapped beneath the debris.
