Mosiria voices concerns after video of lady with school boys goes viral
By Mustafa Juma, July 20, 2025A video circulating on social media has sparked outrage and debate, as it shows a woman encouraging schoolboys to touch her inappropriately at Uhuru Park in Nairobi.
Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria has raised serious concerns about child protection and gender equality in Kenya.
The video, which has since gone viral, depicts the woman, identifiable by her distinctive red braids and revealing attire, interacting with several young boys in school uniforms.
The setting appears to be a casual gathering, possibly a school event or outing, but the content of the interaction has been deemed highly inappropriate and illegal under Kenyan law.
Mosiria, in a strongly worded post shared on X on the night of Saturday, July 19, 2025, condemned the woman’s actions.
“Sometimes it’s hard to keep quiet when I see this kind of moral decay. If a boy child were making such a video, encouraging schoolgirls to touch him inappropriately, the internet would be on fire people demanding his arrest, calling it illegal, and Maendeleo ya Wanawake would be leading the outcry,” Mosiria stated.
Advocacy groups’ silence
He further criticised the lack of response from advocacy groups.
“But now, a woman records herself encouraging school boys to touch her inappropriately, yet nothing is done. The boy child has been neglected and forgotten. For the sake of these young men, where is Maendeleo ya Wanaume? Why is their protection being ignored?” he stated.
Violation of law
Mosiria further referenced the Sexual Offences Act (Cap 62) of Kenya, which criminalises sexual abuse, exploitation, and any form of indecent acts involving minors.
He argued that the woman’s behaviour constitutes a clear violation of this law, warranting immediate arrest and prosecution.
He went ahead to express regret for not being present at Uhuru Park during the incident.
“This woman has violated the Sexual Offences Act (Cap 62 of the Laws of Kenya), which criminalises sexual abuse, exploitation, and any form of indecent acts involving minors, including encouraging children to engage in sexual activity or producing obscene material involving minors,” Mosiria wrote on X.
“Such conduct is illegal and warrants immediate arrest and prosecution. I wish I was at Uhuru Park that day (being one of the facilities I manage); she would have known the law exists and that consequences follow.”
