“Marriage Is A Destiny Booster”-Nairobi’s Geoffrey Mosiria Backs Ruto’s Call For Gen Z to Settle Down
The Head of Citizen Engagement and Customer Care in Nairobi County, Geoffrey Mosiria, has publicly endorsed President William Ruto’s recent advice urging young Kenyans to embrace early marriage, calling the institution a catalyst for success.
Through a detailed post on X on Sunday, December 8, 2025, Mosiria stated that it is time for Generation Z to consider getting married. He noted that the country is observing a generation that is delaying family life, even as many young people quietly long for personal stability and companionship.
Mosiria argued that marriage is more than just a social or personal decision; it is a crucial turning point that introduces structure and accelerates personal and financial growth. He suggested that the current reluctance among some Gen Zs has more to do with fear of commitment than actual lack of capacity.
Marriage as a “Booster”
Injecting both humour and strong conviction into his post, Mosiria detailed the perceived benefits of early marriage for young men.
“The President advised young people to marry at 25. What he forgot to add is this: when you marry early, your star starts shining immediately because a woman comes with a starter pack of blessings,” Mosiria wrote.
He added that young men who complain about being single should not simultaneously lament their lack of progress.
“Marriage attracts favour, God adds wealth to feed the extra mouth he has brought into your life. Marriage is not a burden; it is a destiny booster,” Mosiria asserted.
His remarks land amid rising national conversations about relationships, responsibility, and financial readiness among youth. Mosiria concluded his appeal by stating that single men and women who are serious about companionship should step forward. He jokingly offered his services as a public servant to help connect willing partners, emphasizing that loneliness was never meant to be a permanent state.

President Ruto’s Initial Call
Mosiria’s call directly follows President Ruto’s remarks made weeks earlier during the wedding ceremony of Moses Budamba Mudavadi and Qillian Ndeso Saiya on November 28, 2025.
During the event, President Ruto urged young men above the age of 25 to get married, stating that the family remains the fundamental foundation of a strong nation. He humorously challenged young men to stop moving from one club to another and instead settle down and build homes.
“The foundation of a nation is the firm foundation of a family. A nation is as strong as the families we put together, and therefore, as parents, we must do whatever it takes, encourage our children, as I do here, all the men in this room, those of you who are above the age of 25, get married,” Ruto advised the gathering.
