Taking to Facebook on Sunday, October 25, the former County Chief Officer for Public Participation, Citizen Engagement and Customer Service opened up about the abrupt shift in his daily routine since his dismissal on Wednesday, October 21.
How is life for Mosiria after his dismissal?
"Sikua nimezoea kulala jameni!" he wrote.
Rather than retreating from public life, Mosiria signalled that his focus would now shift to grassroots work, writing that he intended to press on with rescue operations, community support, and standing alongside ordinary Nairobians.
"Serving humanity has always been my calling, and no matter the circumstances, my heart will always be with the people," he said, closing the post with a rallying message: "Watu wa Kanairo, kazi bado ni mingi!"
Mosiria's departure from City Hall followed his declaration that he would contest the Nairobi governorship in the 2027 General Election, putting him on a direct collision course with Sakaja.
County Secretary Machel Waikenda confirmed that Zipporah Njeri Mwangi, the Chief Officer for Culture, Arts and Tourism, would take over Mosiria's docket in an acting capacity.
In the days after his sacking, Mosiria had referenced The 48 Laws of Power, suggesting his undoing was working too hard and outshining his boss.
Sakaja's administration characterised the changes as administrative reorganisation and had not publicly addressed the corruption allegations.
In Sunday's post, Mosiria declared that he remained hopeful of earning another chance to serve Nairobi in 2027, and that his campaign would not be derailed by the circumstances of his exit.
