By Paulette Mboga, November 18, 2025Nairobi County’s Environment Chief Officer, Geoffrey Mosiria, has called on the police to act after a woman was filmed assaulting traders at Kisumu Kibuye Market.
“IS THIS WOMAN ABOVE THE LAW? There’s this woman that keeps on assaulting fellow women within Kisumu Kibuye Market. She calls herself the chairlady or something of that sort there. She’s a dangerous woman to our mothers and even our sisters there,” Mosiria said on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
He described the woman as aggressive, targeting anyone who opposed her. “You dare go against her boom, she’s on your neck. She has made most of the youths killed, some left with lifetime injuries juu ya kuwatumia vibaya,” he added. Mosiria urged citizens to report the matter and called for authorities to intervene immediately.
Call for police intervention
Mosiria stressed the need for a thorough investigation and for justice to be served. “As Mosiria, I call upon the police to thoroughly investigate this matter and put an immediate end to it. We cannot allow this kind of IMPUNITY to continue happening in our country in this day and age. Those responsible must be held accountable, and let this serve as a strong warning to anyone who thinks they can break the law without consequences,” he said.
He also referred to a video circulating online showing the woman assaulting a mother. “She’s assaulting a mother, vibaya sana na kumpiga kama nyoka. Help us get this woman arrested. I trust you have the power,” Mosiria said. He urged authorities to ensure that traders and market residents can go about their work in peace and safety.
The incident has sparked outrage among locals, with many calling for urgent action against anyone who abuses their position of authority. Mosiria’s statement highlights concerns over law enforcement and accountability in local markets.
Authorities have not yet confirmed any arrests related to the incident, but Mosiria’s appeal shows the growing demand for justice and the need to uphold the rule of law.
