Mosiria removed from Environment docket
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has made a significant change by moving Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria from his role in the environment sector, effective immediately, as part of a Cabinet reshuffle.
In a notice signed by the governor on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, Sakaja announced that Mosiria will now take charge of the Citizen Engagement and Customer Service department.
Mosiria was well-known for his strict enforcement of environmental regulations, including the prohibition of open-air waste burning and limitations on animal farming in residential neighborhoods. The environment portfolio will now be overseen by Hibrahim Otieno, who previously managed the Medical Facilities Docket.
These reshuffles, impacting 10 County Chief Officers, were carried out in accordance with Section 45(5) of the County Government Act 2012, as stated by Sakaja.
In the latest changes, Godfrey Akumali has transitioned from the Business and Hustler Opportunities department to the Housing and Urban Renewal sector.
Tony Michale Kimani, who used to lead the Social Services sector, is now taking charge of both the Social Services and Estate Management sectors. Meanwhile, Lydia Mathia, the former County Chief Officer for Housing and Urban Renewal, will now be focusing on Business and Hustler Opportunities. Sande Oyolo, who was at the helm of the Digital Economy and Startups, has been reassigned to oversee Medical Facilities.
Taking over the Digital Economy and Startups is Wilson Gakuya, who previously led the Smart Nairobi sector. Mache Waikenda is making a shift from the Mobility Sector to take on ICT Infrastructure.
Clement Rapudo, who once directed the City’s Culture, Arts, and Tourism Sector, is now moving to the Smart Nairobi sector.
Lastly, Zipporah Mwangi is transitioning to the City Culture, Arts, and Tourism docket from her role in Citizen Engagement and Customer Service.
These changes indicate a strategic shift that could enhance accountability and responsiveness within county operations.
