Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has challenged Kenyan politicians seen walking the streets of New York City.
In a post he shared on Thursday, September 24, 2026, Mosiria reacted to footage showing Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Hassan Joho, Cabinet Secretary for Health Aden Duale and Narok Senator Ledama Olekina walking through the streets of New York City.
The County Chief questioned the leaders over their street walk and challenged them to replicate the same experience back home in Nairobi, where residents face challenges including street begging and unemployment.
Additionally, he challenged the politicians to return to Kenya and walk the streets of the country, suggesting that such an experience would expose them to some of the challenges ordinary citizens encounter.
Mosiria, questioned the leaders about the situation facing young people in Kenya, as well as the implementation of the Social Health Authority (SHA).
The County official further questioned how the country can address poverty while leaders travel and interact in cities such as New York.
