Valentine’s Day: Mosiria celebrates mama fua and calls out rogue men
By David Nthua, February 14, 2026Nairobi customer care boss Geoffrey Mosiria has launched a scathing attack on men who take advantage of women who do casual jobs like mama fua to sustain their families, at least by affording them daily bread.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, February 14, 2026, Mosiria revealed that he chose to celebrate Valentine’s Day differently this year by spending time with women who do laundry and house chores in Kilimani.
Instead of flowers and dinner dates, Mosiria said he sat down with the women to listen to their experiences, especially their encounters with male clients.
Mama Fua’s exploitation
According to Mosiria, what the women shared was deeply troubling.
“Today, being Valentine’s Day, I chose to celebrate love in a different and more meaningful way.
“I spent time with the hardworking mama fua, the women who do laundry and house chores for many families across Kilimani, to listen to their experiences, especially their encounters with some male clients,” he wrote.
He added that many of the women complained of being underpaid or not paid at all after completing their work.
“What they shared was deeply painful. Many spoke of being underpaid or not paid at all after completing their work.
Others narrated how some men pretend to offer them jobs, only to later try to force them into immoral situations, and once they refuse, they are chased away without any payment,” Mosiria stated.
Valentine’s gifts and police appeal
Despite the hardships, Mosiria described the women as resilient mothers determined to provide for their families with dignity.
“To appreciate their strength and courage, I surprised them with Valentine’s gifts, flowers, and 5kg of maize flour as a symbol of love, respect, and recognition for the silent battles they fight daily,” he said.
He also used the opportunity to call for action against a foreign national accused of recording vulnerable Kenyan women and sharing the content online.
“I further call upon the police to urgently trace and take action against the foreign man who recorded and exposed vulnerable Kenyan women out of their desperation.
“Such actions are illegal, inhumane, and unacceptable. No one should exploit or humiliate our women for content, clout, or personal gain,” Mosiria added.
He concluded by urging society to treat domestic workers with respect and dignity, noting that their work is honest and their struggles are real.
