Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has asked Nairobi Metropolitan Boss Mohammed Badi to concentrate on his duties and let him be.
Sonko was responding to an interview done on Friday by Lieutenant General Mohammed Badi where he spoke about his relationship with Nairobi MCAs and the former Governor.
In the Friday interview, Badi who was recently promoted to become a Lieutenant General revealed that he has a photo of all the 40 Nairobi County Assembly Members who voted against Mike Sonko's ouster in December 2020.

"I had to put their pictures up to know who my enemies were, but today if they walk in, all of them are my friends… When they see themselves on the wall, all of them change their loyalty,” Lt Gen. Badi said.
Former Governor Sonko has now asked the NMS Boss to leave him and concentrate on the job he was allocated by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"You are now a Lieutenant General congratulations for that but please endelea kufanyia wananchi kazi nzuri uliopatiwa na Rais kufanya wachana na mimi niendele na maisha yangu," Sonko said.
The two have had a tense relationship since March 2020 when Sonko signed several key functions of the Nairobi County Government over to the then newly created Nairobi Metropolitan Services.
In June of the same year, Sonko claimed that he was served alcohol at State House and was drunk when he surrendered control of key functions to NMS.
Lt General Badi has kept insisting that he had no interest in power and was only performing duties allocated to him by the Commander of the Defence Forces President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"I have not taken anyone’s job, mine is service delivery, if he was smart enough he could have earned more mileage by being closer and working with me,” Badi said about Sonko on Friday.
