Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya has demanded the reinstatement of former Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria following his dismissal from the county government.
In a post on X, Salasya questioned the circumstances surrounding Mosiria’s removal from office, calling on Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja to reverse the decision or face demonstrations when the legislator returns to Kenya.
“Geoffrey Mosiria KE arudishwe Kazi ama tuandamane nikirudi Kenya,” Salasya wrote, demanding that Mosiria be reinstated.
The MP said he was concerned about the changes in Mosiria’s responsibilities within the Nairobi County Government, questioning why he had been moved from the Environment docket to Citizen Service Delivery before his eventual dismissal.
Salasya further argued that, as a Nairobi resident, he had a right to understand the circumstances surrounding the former chief officer’s removal, throwing his support behind Mosiria and challenging Governor Sakaja to reconsider the decision.
The legislator also issued a political warning to the governor, suggesting that the handling of Mosiria’s case could have consequences for Sakaja’s political future ahead of next year’s elections.
Salasya’s remarks add to the public debate surrounding Mosiria’s departure from the county administration, where he had gained public visibility through his work in environmental management and other county service delivery activities.
Mosiria previously served as Nairobi’s Chief Officer for Environment before being reassigned to the Citizen Service Delivery docket. His subsequent dismissal has drawn attention to the changes within the county executive.
However, Salasya did not provide details of any planned demonstrations, including when they would take place or how many people would participate.
The circumstances surrounding Mosiria’s dismissal, as well as any official explanation from the Nairobi County Government, remain central to the debate over his removal.
Governor Sakaja’s administration has faced scrutiny over the management of the capital, with questions about service delivery and county leadership frequently featuring in public discussions.
Salasya’s intervention places fresh pressure on the county leadership to address questions surrounding Mosiria’s exit, even as the political implications of the dispute emerge ahead of the 2027 General Election.
