A man popularly known as “Rasta Man”, who was rescued from the streets of Nairobi by Geoffrey Mosiria, has reunited with his mother after nearly 25 years apart.
In an emotional update on Friday, August 14, 2026, Mosiria said while reflecting on the progress of two men he previously rescued from the streets, including Rasta Man and another man he referred to as “Tree Man”.
According to the County Chief, he rescued Rasta Man outside the Railways Golf Club, next to Uhuru Park, where he had been living on the streets.

Additionally, Mosiria revealed that the reunion was particularly emotional because Rasta Man’s mother had lost contact with him for years and believed that her son had died when he was only 15 years old.
The two were eventually reunited after nearly 25 years, giving the family an opportunity to reconnect after decades apart.
“Rasta Man also worked briefly as a security officer at Oyster Bay before deciding to return to his village to be with his mother. His mother had lost contact with him and believed that her son had died when he was just 15 years old. They were reunited after nearly 25 years,” Mosiria said.
The reunion has restored a family connection that had been lost for nearly a quarter of a century, with his mother having spent years believing her son was dead.
