The deep-rooted rivalry between Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) Director General Mohammed Badi has heightened with the two now fighting over the County Governor’s official residence. He may play his tricks but as we are talking that house has been sealed off and nobody is going to claim that house,” charged Mr Badi. However, Governor Sonko hit back at the DG asking him to respect the rule of law instead of “forcefully” taking the residence and ceremonial vehicle. Sonko is still the governor of Nairobi but he surrendered some of the functions to NMS,” he said. But Nairobi County Assembly majority leader Abdi Guyo defended Mr Sonko accusing Mr Badi of engaging in politics and deviating from his roles as specified in the Deed of Transfer of functions.
