According to him, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/5-kenyan-politicians-whove-been-kicked-out-of-parliament-for-indecent-dressing/57dc8qz">Nyamu’s conduct in the House </a>leaves much to be desired, as she often seems disengaged and distracted.

Mosiria expressed his concern about Nyamu's frequent phone use during sessions, instead of focusing on important parliamentary work such as drafting bills that could improve the lives of Kenyans. He revealed that this behaviour not only frustrates him but also many Kenyans who expect better from their leaders.

"Because anadoze sana parliament. Na anapenda kutumia simu... That's giving Kenyans sleepless nights because she uses their taxes. They expect kwamba apeleke mswada lakini analala. So ametupatia sisi wakenya wote sleepless nights," he said.

<h3>Concerns over Karen Nyamu's fashion choices</h3>

In addition to her behaviour in Parliament, Mosiria also commented on Nyamu's fashion sense, suggesting that it was not appropriate for a public figure.

He advised her to consider dressing in a more fitting and respectable manner, especially given her role as a leader.

"Pia how you dress as a leader.. .Apunguze kuslay tu kidogo. Avae zile nguo zinamfunika vizuri," he said.

This remark adds to the ongoing debate about the importance of image and professionalism in politics, with some arguing that leaders should be mindful of how they present themselves to the public.

<h3>Mosiria’s stance on corruption</h3>

Mosiria was also asked if he thought he was corrupt, especially after revealing how he had been offered a bribe in the past.

However, he firmly denied any involvement in corrupt activities, stating that he has never accepted a bribe in his career.

"I am not corrupt. And this is because I have never taken any bribe," Mosiria stated, adding that he had once been offered Sh2 million by a company but turned it down. He explained that his decisions were based on life, not money.

"It’s not about money, it’s about life," he continued. "You can’t take 2 million when people are dying. Some people try to intimidate you, but when you are working, there is no one above the law. They can try to scare you, but don’t buy into fear."

<h3>Mosiria’s response to dinner with Karen Nyamu</h3>

In a lighter part of the interview, Mosiria was asked whether he would accept a dinner date with Senator Nyamu or a cash gift of Sh500,000. Mosiria politely declined, stating that he would prefer to take the money.

His response added a touch of humour to the conversation but also highlighted his pragmatic approach to finances.

"Dinner with Karen Nyamu or Sh500,000?" the interviewer asked.

"Siwezi enda naye dinner. Niache pesa?" Mosiria answered.

<h3>Improvements that Mosiria's has brought to the city </h3>

Mosiria has earned widespread recognition for his proactive efforts in improving public health and hygiene within the city. His initiatives have included shutting down kiosks and suspending vendors who fail to meet hygiene standards.

He also played a pivotal role in setting up the first Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital.

At Pumwani Maternity Hospital, Mosiria oversaw the installation of modern elevators and a new generator, significantly enhancing its infrastructure.

Additionally, his leadership has transformed Mbagathi Hospital, which now features a state-of-the-art Newborn Unit and a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
