The National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) has recently called for action to be taken against Nairobi Chief Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria over a video he shared featuring a young street boy.
In a statement on Thursday, July 10, the NGEC accused Mosiria of what they described as ‘using children as content’.
The NGEC went on to call on the children’s department to take action.

The video in question showed Mosiria walking along a street in the Nairobi CBD alongside a pre-teen who appeared to be intoxicated and desensitised to what was happening.
In the video, he called on the public to help trace the child’s guardians as he alleged a case of abuse of jet fuel.
However, NGEC in their statement, accused Mosiria of using the young boy for content.
They moreover argued that the case of street children grappling with cases of drug abuse was not necessarily unique.
Mosiria has gained online traction for the unique way of handling environmental issues in Nairobi.
The county official’s mode of operation involves documenting his day-to-day activities, including night club raids and visits to dumping sites, some of which are illegal.
