A circular dated Wednesday, October 21, 2026, announced changes affecting three chief officers within Nairobi City County. Zipporah Njeri was designated Acting Chief Officer for Public Participation and Citizen Engagement.
The changes come as political attention shifts towards the 2027 General Election, with potential candidates positioning themselves for elective seats. Mosiria’s gubernatorial declaration appears to have preceded the latest administrative changes, although the county circular did not establish the reason for his removal.
County Announces Leadership Changes
The circular outlined changes involving three chief officers in the county administration. Njeri’s appointment places her in an acting capacity overseeing public participation and citizen engagement.
Mosiria had served in a role associated with citizen engagement and customer service within the county government. His removal marks a change in the leadership of that department as he signals interest in succeeding Sakaja.
The county announcement did not provide further details about Mosiria’s next assignment or explain whether he would remain in county government. Additional information on the other changes affecting chief officers was not provided in the available statement.
Mosiria Signals Gubernatorial Ambitions
Mosiria’s declaration of interest in the Nairobi governor’s seat places him among those considering a contest for the county’s top office. The position is expected to attract political competition ahead of the 2027 elections.
Sakaja currently leads Nairobi City County, where administrative appointments and political developments are likely to draw increased attention as campaigns approach. The county’s latest changes have put Mosiria’s future role and political plans in focus.
