Nairobi County Chief Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria has amused social media users after sharing a video of a man who bears a striking resemblance to him and appears to have mastered his communication style.
In a video shared by Mosiria on Friday, September 4, 2026, the lookalike is seen mimicking the public official’s mannerisms and the distinctive way he communicates.
The man’s gestures, facial expressions and delivery closely resemble Mosiria, making the clip a humorous moment for followers familiar with the county official’s public appearances and social media content.
Mosiria appeared to take the uncanny resemblance in good humour, joking about whether the man could now be mistaken for the “original” Mosiria.
Mosiria jokes about his look-alike
Sharing the video with his followers, Mosiria accompanied it with a playful caption questioning whether the man was actually the original version of himself.
“Mnasema huyu ndio Mosiria original.. ni uchungu sana,” Mosiria wrote.
His reaction added to the humour of the video, with the official seemingly acknowledging just how convincing the impersonation was.
Rather than dismissing the imitation, Mosiria chose to share it with his audience, turning the resemblance into an entertaining social media moment.
The post also highlights how easily familiar public figures can become subjects of imitation, particularly when their mannerisms and communication styles are recognisable to the public.
Social media reacts to the uncanny resemblance
Lookalike videos often attract attention online because of the challenge of telling where resemblance ends and imitation begins.
In Mosiria’s case, the video goes beyond physical similarities, with the lookalike attempting to recreate the official’s characteristic way of speaking and communicating.
The combination has made the clip particularly amusing, especially for Kenyans who regularly encounter Mosiria’s videos and public updates online.
Mosiria’s decision to repost the content also shows his willingness to laugh at himself and engage with the lighter side of social media.
While the identity of the lookalike was not disclosed in Mosiria’s post, the video has provided followers with an entertaining comparison between the county official and his apparent double.
For now, Mosiria seems to have accepted the joke, even if his playful “ni uchungu sana” suggests he may not be entirely comfortable with the competition for the title of the “original.”
