Geoffrey Mosiria Confronts Pedestrians Over Footbridge Use

Nairobi City Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, was recently spotted confronting pedestrians who were crossing Mombasa Road instead of using the designated footbridge. This encounter drew significant attention, particularly when a gust of wind reportedly blew open his blazer, briefly revealing what appeared to be a concealed firearm at his waist as he addressed the individuals.

During the confrontation, Mosiria questioned the pedestrians, asking, 'Iyo footbridge imeekewa nani?' which translates to 'Who is the footbridge meant for?' This moment quickly went viral, highlighting both his commitment to road safety and the unexpected visibility of the firearm.

Geoffrey Mosiria has been actively involved in promoting pedestrian safety in Nairobi. He has gained public recognition for his efforts to enforce the use of footbridges, particularly along busy roads. In April 2026, he was seen taking a stand against illegal crossings on Mombasa Road, and in September of the same year, he intensified his efforts by using a megaphone to warn pedestrians near the Nyayo Stadium footbridge, aiming to deter them from crossing illegally, according to The Star.

This incident comes amid ongoing discussions about pedestrian safety in Nairobi, where road accidents involving pedestrians remain a significant concern. Mosiria's proactive approach reflects a broader initiative by the Nairobi City government to improve urban safety and infrastructure, addressing the challenges posed by heavy traffic and inadequate pedestrian facilities.
