Mosiria warns public after discovering street food trolleys in toilet

Geoffrey Mosiria has issued a warning to the public after uncovering alarming practices among some street food vendors.

Speaking on his Facebook page on Sunday, February 8, 2026, Mosiria detailed how certain hawkers store their food trolleys and ingredients in unhygienic locations, including toilets, open drains, and dirty backrooms.

He stressed that these practices put consumers at serious risk, especially those buying meals for children.

“Ni uchungu sana kula chakula imewekwa kwa choo. Be careful what you buy and eat from hawkers,” Mosiria noted.

According to Mosiria, some vendors prepare meals without access to clean water, proper storage, or basic handwashing. Food is often exposed to dust, smoke, flies, and other contaminants.

While he acknowledged that many street food vendors are honest and hard-working, Mosiria warned that others focus solely on profit, neglecting hygiene standards that are crucial for public safety.

Health risks highlighted

Mosiria cautioned that consuming meals prepared in such conditions can lead to food poisoning, infections, and persistent stomach problems.

He encouraged the public to carefully observe the cleanliness of food trolleys, how food is handled, and the surrounding environment before making a purchase. If anything appears unsanitary, Mosiria advised walking away to avoid unnecessary health risks.

“Remember, cheap food can sometimes become very expensive when hospital bills start knocking,” he said.

He stressed that cheap street food can become expensive when medical bills follow. Mosiria reminded consumers that prevention is better than treatment and urged them to report unhygienic practices to help protect themselves and the wider community.

He emphasised that vigilance is critical, especially when purchasing meals from crowded markets or busy streets

Mosiria further called on both vendors and customers to prioritise safety and hygiene. He highlighted that public awareness is key to keeping street food safe and preventing illnesses.

According to Mosiria, taking the time to check food handling practices and storage conditions can save lives and reduce the risks associated with consuming unhygienic street meals.
