Former Nairobi County Environment CEC, Geoffrey Mosiria has sparked online debate regarding body image, beauty standards, and authenticity among young women.
Mosiria praised Gen Z women who embrace their natural bodies, while strongly condemning the increasing trend of “fake curves” which he believes are designed to deceive men.
He revealed that his stance was prompted by an incident during a recent supermarket trip.
He recounted accidentally bumping into what he initially thought was a woman’s undergarments, only to discover they were padded pants designed to create the illusion of a larger bottom.
“I was shocked beyond words,” Mosiria said in a video shared shortly after the encounter.
“I turned back and asked myself, ‘What did I just bump into?’ That’s when it hit me that these fake bum pants are everywhere.”
In the video, Mosiria expressed disbelief, stating that the experience highlighted how far some people are willing to go to alter their appearance.
“Men are being set up out here,” he remarked.
“You think you’re seeing the real thing, kumbe ni plastic na sponge”
The video garnered mixed reactions, with many finding his reaction humorous, while others shared his concerns.
To clarify his position, Mosiria shared a second video, this time adopting a more appreciative tone.
In the clip, he stood alongside two young Gen Z women with natural bodies, praising them for their self-acceptance.
“These are the real queens,” Mosiria stated proudly.
“I want to congratulate Gen Z ladies who have decided to love themselves the way God created them. Natural is beautiful, natural is enough.”
He further applauded the younger generation for rejecting unrealistic beauty standards.
“I am happy to see young women saying no to pressure,” he added.
Mosiria then criticised women who use padded pants or undergo cosmetic surgery to achieve “killer curves.”
“Why go through pain and risk your life just to impress strangers?” he asked.
“If someone can’t accept you as you are, they are not for you.”
Mosiria also cautioned men.
“Men, open your eyes,” he warned.
“Some of these curves are rented. Don’t fall in love with illusions. What you see today might disappear tomorrow.”
While his remarks have been met with both support and criticism, Mosiria remains firm in his stance.
He believes that authenticity should be prioritised.
“Let’s normalize being real,” he concluded.
“There is beauty in originality, and no fake bum can replace that.”
