Mosiria promises to support youth who dumped crime for honest living
By Charles Ouma, February 18, 2026Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service Geoffrey Mosiria has promised to support a young man who dumped crime for an honest living after the latter shared his experience.
Mosiria unpacked their interaction in a statement, accompanied by a video of the young man sharing his story.
“Crime is never the solution, and that’s why I’m always encouraged whenever I meet young people who choose to reform and change their lives for the better. Last night I met this young man who openly shared his story with me,” Mosiria stated on X on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
Mosiria shared that the young man, who is also an artist, made a conscious decision to quit crime and ventured into business.
“He admitted that he was once involved in crime, but he made a conscious decision to walk away from that life. Instead of shortcuts and trouble, he chose hard work and honesty. Now, he runs his own small business, and he is also an artist,” he stated.
Mosiria: Everyone deserves second chance
He emphasised that everyone deserves a second chance with the right support and celebrated the young man for making the bold decision to shun crime.
“Everyone deserves a second chance, and with the right support and opportunities, our youth can become responsible, productive members of society,” he added.
He assured the young man of his support, noting that his change transforms the whole community.
“I promised to stand with him and support his journey, because when one young person reforms, we don’t just change one life, we strengthen the entire community,” he assured.

The head of customer service in Nairobi County has a robust social media presence and uses his platforms to support Kenyans in need.
He has, in the past, highlighted several cases and intervened.
From crime to business & talent
The young man shared that he was heavily involved in crime alongside his colleagues, infiltrating public protests and committing crimes.
From snatching phones to robbing members of the public, the youth who currently sells clothes opened up on his escapades.
He survived and lived to tell the story, with injury marks.
