Geoffrey Mosiria’s new roles come after city lawyer Willis Otieno questioned his job description, shortly after Governor Sakaja made the changes to his executive on Wednesday, November 18, 2025.

Despite leading the environment docket, Mosiria, on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, together with officers from the Liquor Licensing Board and the police, conducted a raid on a city wines and spirits shop, which, according to him, had been operating as a bar and restaurant without valid documents.

However, the raid by Mosiria has left Willis Otieno asking questions: ”Chief Officer of Environment, a question: how does policing a bar and spirits shop fall under your regulatory mandate? There’s a mountain of urban chaos, infrastructural decay, and environmental neglect across Nairobi, yet here you are prioritising noise complaints and paperwork enforcement,” Otieno took to X on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
