Mosiria warns child abuse is pure evil after shocking Nairobi case
By Paulette Mboga, January 10, 2026Nairobi County government Citizen Engagement and Customer Care boss Geoffrey Mosiria has called on society to pay attention to boys and men suffering abuse in silence.
On Saturday, January 10, 2025, he stated that many carry deep wounds that are often overlooked.
“It is heartbreaking and unacceptable that this young man was betrayed and abused by his own uncle, someone who was meant to protect him,” he said.
He warns that child abuse is pure evil and affects anyone, regardless of gender, religion, or background.
“It has nothing to do with gender, religion, or background. It is the act of individuals who choose to harm the innocent,” Mosiria explains.
He adds that such perpetrators must be called out and removed from society.
Creating safe spaces for survivors
Mosiria said the need to support survivors and provide them with care and justice.
“Survivors deserve support, healing, and justice, not shame or silence,” he said.
He urged society to create safe spaces where boys and men can speak out and be believed. According to him, giving survivors a voice is crucial for their recovery and protection.
He also stresses that those who harm children must face the law fully.
“Let us stand firmly against all forms of abuse. Protect the vulnerable. Listen to survivors. And ensure that those who harm children face the full force of the law,” Mosiria said.
Mosiria’s message comes amid growing concern over child abuse cases that are often unreported, especially among boys. He notes that cultural expectations sometimes pressure men and boys to stay silent about abuse, which worsens the impact.
He calls for accountability and vigilance from families, communities, and authorities.
“Perpetrators must be held fully accountable to prevent further harm,” he adds.
Mosiria urges parents and guardians to protect their children and ensure their safety at all times.
Mosiria concludes that ignoring abuse only perpetuates suffering. He stresses the importance of listening to survivors, providing them with resources, and making sure that justice is served. He hopes society will recognise the struggles boys and men face and take action to protect the vulnerable.
