Nairobi City County Citizen Engagement and Customer Service Chief Officer Geoffrey Mosiria has defended former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, dismissing claims of rivalry between the two ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking on Sunday, December 14, 2025, via X, Mosiria urged Matiang’i to work with President William Ruto, framing their political alignment as a strategic move to strengthen government and advance opportunities for the Gusii community ahead of the polls.
Mosiria rejected suggestions that he would oppose Matiang’i, the Jubilee Party’s 2027 presidential hopeful, describing him as a “brother” already serving government interests from a different position.
“I cannot fight my brother, who is already in government. Instead, I am working to mobilise more numbers to add value to him in 2027,” Mosiria said.
He argued that political competition within the same camp would be counterproductive, stating that his efforts focus on amplifying Matiang’i’s influence rather than undermining it.
Mosiria also highlighted Matiang’i’s political consistency over the years, noting that even when opposition leaders criticised him publicly, he remained aligned with the State. He described these moments as strategic positioning rather than defiance.
“Remember, he was once a mole within the opposition, even when one opposition leader publicly attacked him. This is a clear indication that our brother is a mole,” Mosiria stated.
Framing politics as a game of strategy, Mosiria explained that while he operates from a formal government position, Matiang’i works from outside the structures to weaken the opposition and consolidate power for the ruling establishment.
“The difference is I hold a government position; my brother is playing his cards from outside to divide the opposition and continue holding the government firm,” he said.
Mosiria maintained that both individuals serve the same political cause and that their approaches, though different, are complementary and designed to achieve shared objectives.
In response to critics questioning his loyalty, Mosiria said any scrutiny aimed at him should also apply to Matiang’i, underscoring their shared mission to advance opportunities for their community.
“So if you must crucify me, then my brother is no different. We are all fighting for opportunities for our people,” he concluded.
