Mosiria shows off new electric car, wants Kenyans to follow in his footsteps
Nairobi County’s head of Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, is now over the moon. This is after he showed up in Nairobi CBD, driving an electric car, with advice to Kenyans who have little idea about electric vehicles.
Through his Facebook account on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Geoffrey Mosiria explained that his latest move was not about showing off but about pushing a serious national conversation on climate action and clean transport.

According to Mosiria, he took time to engage Nairobi residents on the importance of migrating to e-mobility, saying the vehicles are designed to protect both the environment and public health.
“These environmentally friendly vehicles produce zero exhaust emissions and play a critical role in protecting the air we breathe and the health of our people,” he said.
The county official insisted that Kenya must not lag behind as the world shifts to greener technologies, arguing that climate conversations must be matched with real action on the ground.
“This is a conversation Kenya must begin now. As a nation, we cannot talk about climate action and environmental protection without embracing clean transport solutions. E-mobility is not the future; it is the present,” Mosiria stated.
He also revealed that the electric car he was driving marked a historic moment for the country, noting that it was the first of its kind to be used on Kenyan roads.
“This vehicle marks a major milestone. It is the first of its kind to land in Kenya, and I am proud to be the first Kenyan to drive it in Nairobi CBD and in Kenya,” he added.
Why it matters
Mosiria further explained that transitioning to e-mobility will not only improve air quality but also bring economic benefits to ordinary Kenyans.
“Transitioning to e-mobility will reduce air pollution, cut fuel costs, create green jobs, and help build cleaner, healthier cities,” he said, adding that the journey towards a sustainable Kenya has already begun.
He described himself as a strong advocate of clean energy, saying electric mobility offers Kenya a chance to reduce carbon emissions while improving urban living.
“Transitioning to electric mobility will significantly reduce air pollution, lower carbon emissions, and improve public health,” Mosiria noted.
Beyond the environmental gains, he pointed out that e-mobility also supports innovation and sustainable urban development, creating opportunities for young people in the green economy.
According to Mosiria, embracing clean energy solutions is not just an environmental responsibility but also a smart investment in the country’s future.
As Nairobi continues to struggle with congestion and pollution, Mosiria’s electric car demonstration has sparked fresh debate on whether Kenya is ready to fully embrace cleaner and greener transport.
