Mosiria urges club owners to ensure bottle girls dress decently
By Paulette Mboga, December 12, 2025Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has called on nightclub owners to ensure that young women employed as bottle girls dress decently and respectfully.
He said the current trend of exposing women’s bodies in clubs is inappropriate and sends the wrong message. During an interview with Carol Sonnie on Thursday, December 12, 2025, Mosiria explained the issue.

Carol Sonnie asked him about a post he made, saying, “You did a post and told hawa watu wa clubs, hata kama ni kuajiri wasichana, you should look at how they dress…”
Mosiria responded, “Yeah…why do you have to subject someone’s daughter to dressing in a very inappropriate way, exposing their bodies, msichana amevaa tu chupi pekee yake, mwili ingine iko nje. This is someone’s daughter. One day she will be a mother, an aunt and a grandmother. Do you expect her to see that video?”
He said employers should be responsible when hiring women and set clear guidelines on how they should dress.
“So sometimes when we are giving them jobs, let them dress decently in a way that is not purporting to be more sexual. I don’t know which word to use. Let us learn to treat those girls well,” he said.
Mosiria also pointed out that the same standards are rarely applied to men working in clubs.
“I have never seen men…basi si walete wanaume wavae boxers wale wameunga na chest wa serve kwa hizo wakue waiters. Mbona hawaambii wanaume wavae hivyo? So we are misusing our girls,” he said.

Concern over workplace standards
He said that the nightclub industry should not take advantage of young women or pressure them into wearing revealing clothing for the sake of business. Mosiria argued that dressing decently protects their dignity and ensures they are treated with respect.
He called on club owners and managers to consider the long-term impact of their decisions on the women they employ. According to Mosiria, promoting decency and respect in the workplace is not just about morality but also about creating a safe and professional environment for all staff.
He concluded by reminding business owners that employees, especially women, are human beings, not objects for entertainment.
