Sparky Kenya asks Mosiria to run for Starehe MP in 2027, explains why he can win

Beautician and microblading technician Sparky Kenya has urged Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria to consider vying for the Starehe parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election, arguing that his visibility and hands-on engagement with Nairobi residents could give him an advantage in elective politics.

Speaking in a TikTok video on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, Sparky said the county official should consider making the Starehe parliamentary contest his first major step into politics, particularly because of the experience he has accumulated while working closely with residents and addressing some of the challenges facing Nairobi.

“Kindly, so now Mosiria, you also said that you want to major in politics. I would advise you to start with Starehe parliamentary,” Sparky said.

Sparky also used the opportunity to raise concerns about the growing presence of boda boda riders in Nairobi’s Central Business District, arguing that the situation has made it increasingly difficult for pedestrians to move around some parts of the city without worrying about their safety.

“Any leader who is not able to push for these boda boda riders to be kicked out of operating in the CBD is failing Kenyans,” Sparky said.

He claimed that pedestrians were increasingly struggling to walk while using their phones along some of the city’s busiest streets, particularly Moi Avenue, because of concerns about boda boda riders riding close to pedestrians and using pavements.

“Right now, you cannot even walk while using your phone. Streets like Moi Avenue, you cannot even walk with a phone; you have to hide it or put it in the pocket,” he said.

Sparky further questioned whether pedestrians could easily distinguish between legitimate boda boda riders and people who might use motorcycles to snatch phones and other valuables from unsuspecting members of the public.

“Because you are not sure whether those oncoming boda riders are thieves or not,” he said.

He also criticised what he described as boda boda riders overlapping and riding on pavements, arguing that such practices had contributed to the disorder experienced by pedestrians in the city centre.

“Boda overlaps and ride on pavements and all that, and Nairobi looks like Uganda,” Sparky said.

The beautician then turned his attention to the leadership of the county’s environment department, recalling Mosiria’s previous role and arguing that the former environment chief officer had been considerably more visible in the execution of his duties.

“Sakaja removed Mosiria from the environment docket where he was doing all that, but he should know the CEC he appointed to that docket; we have never seen him, and we do not even know his name,” Sparky said.

Mosiria’s transfer from Environment to Citizen Engagement and Customer Service was part of a broader reshuffle announced by Governor Sakaja in November 2025. The changes saw Mosiria leave the Environment department, which was subsequently placed under Hibrahim Otieno.

The move did not, however, completely remove Mosiria from the public spotlight. In his new role, he has continued to make public appearances and monitor service delivery, including visiting county facilities and demanding accountability from workers.
