Feeling cornered after being charged with misappropriation of Sh357 million at City Hall, Sonko retaliated by going on a rampage and picking fights with every enemy, real or perceived. In March, Sonko would pick a fight with Kitusuru MCA Alvin Palapala after what appeared a private disagreement between the two. Sonko then signed to transfer four-county functions of health, transport, public works, utilities and ancillary services, and county planning and development to NMS. Together with the opposition, Guyo would mastermind the ouster of Sonko in December, putting to an end his reign at City Hall. Attempts by President Uhuru Kenyatta to broker a truce between Sonko and Badi proved futile with Sonko launching one tirade after the other on the NMS boss at one time calling him “Saddam Hussein”.
