Nairobi County’s Citizen Engagement and Customer Care boss, Geoffrey Mosiria, has called on the Teachers Service Commission to hire a teacher rescued from the streets.
In a post on Mosiria’s official X account on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, Mosiria narrated a rare encounter with a former University of Nairobi graduate who was once a dedicated teacher.
“This is truly the work of God. Mwalimu Ibrahim Obama, the former University of Nairobi graduate from Kenya Science Campus, was once a dedicated teacher, standing in classrooms and shaping the future of our children,” Mosiria said.
On his part, Mosiria revealed that upon the encounter, the teacher narrated how life suddenly took a painful turn after he lost his job, resulting in the streets.
“Then life took a painful turn. He lost his job, lost his family, and lost everything he owned. With no support system and nowhere to turn, he found himself on the streets struggling daily just to survive,” Mosiria said.
Mosiria recalled the encounter which happened in Nairobi, explaining how the teacher was trapped among street families and individuals battling drug addiction.
“When I encountered him at JCC, among street families and individuals battling addiction, I was deeply shaken. Not because he had fallen but because I was looking at a qualified teacher, a man with skills, experience, and dignity, reduced to the streets after never being given a fair hearing,” Mosiria added.
Rebuilding his life
He went on explaining that after the encounter, Mwalimu was rescued, restored, and eventually got an opportunity to rebuild himself at a private school.
“I made a decision to intervene. To rescue, restore, and give him an opportunity to rebuild his life. Today, Mwalimu Ibrahim has regained his dignity and is back in the classroom, working as a teacher in a private school,” Mosiria said.
Mosiria is now appealing to the Teachers Service Commission to reconsider his case and grant him a second chance to return to public service.
“He is earning an honest living, mentoring learners, and proving that rehabilitation and second chances truly work. I now make a humble and public appeal to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Ministry of Education to reconsider his case and grant him a second chance to return to public service,” Mosiria added.
“He made an appeal, but unfortunately, he was never accorded a fair hearing,” Mosiria said.
