Mosiria petitions Nairobi club owners to protect girls from exploitation
By David Nthua, November 16, 2025Nairobi County Chief Environment Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has warned club owners and managers in Nairobi who tend to exploit young, jobless, innocent and desperate girls for jobs.
In a lengthy post on X on Sunday, November 16, 2025, Mosiria stated that he is shocked by the events unfolding in most clubs within Nairobi County.

“To our club owners and managers, I appreciate the fact that you create job opportunities for many young girls and women who work hard to market and grow your establishments. However, during my night operations, I have also observed that at times, some are pushed into situations that demand more than what is reasonable, simply to impress clients or meet expectations,” Mosiria wrote on X.
He has confessed that he has seen worrying behaviours during his night operations.
Growing concern over pressure
Mosiria said his concern comes from seeing young women pushed into situations that demand more than what is reasonable.
He explained that some managers pressure them to do whatever it takes to impress clients, even when that demand crosses emotional boundaries.
He noted that during his inspections, he has met girls who look frightened worn out and overly anxious because they feel forced to satisfy unrealistic expectations placed upon them at work.
Protecting dignity and wellbeing
According to Mosiria, many girls market these establishments through online posts that expose their bodies in ways that are meant to attract big spenders.
He said that management sometimes directly or indirectly encourages this approach, which he described as troubling.

He added that such content may follow these women for years and that their families would be hurt to see their dignity compromised online.
In one part of his message, he reminded club owners that these women are someone’s daughter, sister, wife, mother or aunt.
We must remember that these young girls and women are someone’s daughter, sister, wife, mother or aunt, and their families would be deeply hurt to see them exposed in ways that may compromise their dignity.
“In the future, their children or relatives may come across such content online, leading to unnecessary judgment, criticism, or emotional distress,” Mosiria added on X.
He warned that future generations could stumble upon these videos and judge them without knowing the pressures they faced.
He said that girls go through a lot to earn a living and deserve respect rather than exploitation.
He stressed that his intention was not to condemn anyone but to encourage a change in how young women are treated in entertainment spaces.
He urged club owners to create safer environments that do not subject workers to extreme demands, whether through physical tasks or digital marketing expectations.
Mosiria ended his message by asking Nairobi residents to share ideas on how clubs can support and uplift the girls who depend on these jobs.
