Mosiria defends himself after standing with woman in viral video clip
By David Nthua, January 19, 2026The world can be upside down, they say, but for Geoffrey Mosiria, the past three days this has been a reality and not just a phrase.
He has been receiving blows and kicks from every corner of the internet space.
This is after he stood up to defend and demand justice for Marion Napei, a woman who was embarrassed while under the influence of alcohol after her nude video leaked online.
Law over emotions
Taking to his Facebook account on Monday, January 19, 2026, the Nairobi County Chief Officer said he was not surprised by the backlash but insisted that his stand was guided by the law and basic human dignity.
Mosiria explained that many people online have tried to force him into picking sides, yet that was never his intention.
“Both the girl and the boy could be in the wrong. But my stand is not about taking sides; it’s about what the law says, especially on forcefully recording and sharing content without consent,” he stated.
In his post, Mosiria stressed that what disturbed him most was the normalisation of recording people without permission and circulating the content online as entertainment.
He maintained that regardless of what happened before the clip was recorded, the act of filming someone forcefully and sharing it without consent remains illegal.
He also questioned why society is quick to attack those calling out wrongdoing instead of addressing the violation itself.
“It makes you wonder, have we become a society so rotten that clear violations of the law are now seen as normal, and those who speak the truth are treated like criminals?” Mosiria posed.
Painful reminder
Mosiria went further to compare the current online outrage to past incidents where victims were treated differently. He recalled a case where a DJ was shot and left crippled after confronting a man over inappropriate touching, saying the public did not turn against him the way they are now attacking Mosiria.
“Just think a few years ago, someone shot a DJ just for telling him, ‘Stop touching my girlfriend’s buttocks,’ leaving the DJ crippled, yet no one attacked him online the same way I’m being attacked,” he wrote.
Mosiria said his only “mistake” was responding to a complaint involving someone he does not even know, and standing for what he believes is right.
“If in your conscience you feel I have offended you for my actions, I ask for your forgiveness. But on the case of illegal recording and sharing without consent, I have no apology,” he added.
Mosiria’s remarks have continued to spark debate online, with some Kenyans supporting his position on consent and privacy, while others argue he should have stayed out of the matter.
