Geoffrey Mosiria, the Nairobi Chief County Officer, got moved from his environmental job and said he pissed off powerful people by shutting down their illegal construction projects near rivers and clubs that were breaking rules. He mentioned stopping one big-shot developer's building, and that apparently made some untouchable types mad enough to get him transferred to citizen engagement work instead.
Mosiria said the whole thing went down because he kept enforcing regulations on wealthy, connected people who thought they were above the law. He brought up how he shut down clubs and developments that were harming residents and the environment, and the backlash eventually caught up with him.
Even after what he called a demotion, Mosiria said he's still focused on helping Nairobi residents and that his commitment hasn't changed regardless of which office he's running.
