Nairobi County’s Environment Chief Officer, Geoffrey Mosiria, has raised concerns after a video showing a woman pole dancing in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) went viral.
He described the incident on Sunday, November 16, 2025, as shocking and warned that such behaviour should not be tolerated, especially in areas where children are present.

Mosiria said the actions seen in the video promote immorality and could negatively influence young people.
Mosiria shared that he had received dozens of messages from residents expressing concern over the same incident.
He said, “I’ve just received the 79th message on my WhatsApp from a City resident, all of them saying the same thing as the previous 78… ‘Wanasema nisijaribu ku-interfere na hustle ya huyu Babes hapa CBD!’ Jameni, I usually mind my own business, but sasa hapa naona itabidi mnisaidie kuelewa nini kweli inaendelea… Kabla hawa wasee wanichomee simu na strict warnings. Hii Nairobi imeanza kunitisha, huwa najionea maajabu.”
Calls for action
After consulting widely, Mosiria emphasised that such behaviour is unacceptable.
He said, “Honestly, this is too much, and it shouldn’t be allowed to happen, especially in the CBD, where children are seeing what they shouldn’t be seeing. This is promoting immorality indirectly.”
“If we allow this to continue, A** K** will be next in our streets, na water boozer. To protect our environment and morals, some things shouldn’t be entertained in the CBD where we have young children who must be shielded from such bad behaviours.”
He warned that failure to act could normalise indecent acts and corrupt societal values. Mosiria urged authorities and residents to draw clear boundaries on what is acceptable in public spaces, stressing the importance of preserving the dignity of the city.
“We must draw clear boundaries on what is acceptable in public spaces, especially in a city that represents the face of our nation. If we fail to act now, we risk normalising behaviours that corrupt our values and expose our children to influences they should never encounter. Our responsibility is to safeguard both the dignity of our city and the morality of the next generation,” he said.
Mosiria also reminded the public that Kenyan law does not allow public stripping or any indecent show in open spaces.
