Mosiria shares unbelievable transformative photos of man he met in Kahawa Sukari
Nairobi County Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has once again shown Kenyans that depression is a very weak enemy.
Through his Facebook account on Sunday, January 18, 2026, Mosiria shared photos of one and only Alex, a man he met way back in Nairobi’s Kahawa Sukari estate.

In the post, Mosiria reminded Kenyans of the painful condition Alex was in when he first came across him, saying many people had already written him off and even mocked him because of his mental health struggles.
“Wengi walimtusi na kumdharau the sick Alex lakini ipo siku atakuwa sawa!” Mosiria wrote.
Painful struggle
According to Mosiria, Alex’s life changed after he lost both his parents, a loss that pushed him into deep depression.
He said the man became sick and was abandoned, left to live alone in the house his parents had left behind, with no one to support him.
After his condition worsened, Mosiria said Alex was stranded and isolated in Kahawa Sukari, with no food, no one to talk to, and no hope in sight.
“He was stranded in Kahawa Sukari, with no food, no one to talk to, and completely isolated, lost in a world of his own,” he wrote.
Mosiria revealed that many people started calling Alex a mad man, saying his situation got worse to the point where he would talk to himself.
He added that because of the illness, Alex could not even take care of basic hygiene, and people avoided him.
“Many people called him a mad man (mwendawazimu). His condition worsened to the point where he would talk to himself, and because of his illness, he could not even shower. Everyone ran away from him,” Mosiria said.
However, Mosiria noted that one person did not give up on Alex, his aunt, who is his late mother’s sister.
He said she brought the matter to his attention after some relatives allegedly showed interest in Alex’s property but did not want to help him.
“The only person who did not give up on him was his aunt, his mother’s sister,” Mosiria stated.
A new chapter
Mosiria disclosed that his aunt reached out because she feared Alex would end up on the streets and lose his life completely. He said he then stepped in to help him access medical attention.
On Sunday, Mosiria visited Alex again and shared a fresh update that left many Kenyans encouraged, saying the man is now doing well and recovering.
“Today, I visited Alex, and I am happy to report that he is doing well. He is recovering from the mental illness he was facing,” he wrote.
Mosiria added that Alex is expected to be discharged one day and return home like any other Kenyan. He said he was not sharing the update for publicity, but to inspire others to notice and help people who are suffering in silence.
