Geoffrey Mosiria, the Chief Officer for Environment in Nairobi County, recently offered advice to businessman Khalif Kairo following his release from remand. Mosiria, who bumped into Kairo on the streets, emphasized the importance of privacy in the wake of his legal troubles and urged him to avoid distractions, especially women, which he believed had been a key factor in many men’s downfalls. Mosiria spoke from personal experience, having been in a similar position where he rose to success, only to face setbacks. He explained that women, in particular, often caused men to lose focus and fall into difficult situations.
In his conversation with Kairo, Mosiria advised him to keep his life and business affairs discreet, likening it to a password that should not be shared too openly. He cautioned against flaunting success, as people may become envious and try to take advantage. Mosiria stressed that Kairo should focus on rebuilding his business and reputation, staying grounded and focused on his goals.
While Kairo had faced accusations of defrauding clients by failing to deliver cars that had been paid for, Mosiria maintained that Kairo was fundamentally a hardworking, God-fearing individual who had made mistakes but was capable of turning his life around. He encouraged Kenyans to support Kairo as he re-entered the business world, acknowledging that while he owed money to some clients, he was working on repayment plans with them. Mosiria expressed confidence that Kairo could overcome his past challenges and rebuild his reputation with the help of his community.
On social media, reactions to Mosiria’s advice were mixed. Some users expressed skepticism about Kairo’s trustworthiness, while others supported the idea of giving him a second chance, acknowledging his previous efforts to make a living. There were also discussions about the role women played in Kairo’s troubles, with some users agreeing with Mosiria’s warning, while others pointed out that poor choices were often at the root of such issues, regardless of gender.
Kairo himself had previously commented on his personal relationships, noting that his former partner would never have been interested in him if he hadn’t had money. He shared his perspective on the importance of financial success for men, urging others to work hard so they could avoid the pitfall of being used by women who were primarily interested in their wealth.
Despite the controversies surrounding Kairo’s business practices, Mosiria’s message remained one of redemption and encouragement. He believed that with the right focus, Kairo could overcome his past mistakes and rise to greater success in the future.
