I Won't Tolerate Insults from Governor Sonko, NMS Director-General Mohamed Badi Says
Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) director-general Major General Mohamed Badi says he is not interested in fighting with Governor Mike Sonko.
Badi who spoke on Citizen TV’s JKL show said he is focused on cleaning up the city and the insults Governor Sonko throws at him will not stop him from performing his mandate.
He added that he will not respond to Sonko but warned he will not take any further insults lying down.
“The best way is to keep quiet, so he’ll keep on guessing what you’re doing but I’ll keep quiet and keep on doing the work. I actually don’t entertain any insults or any accusations that he bombards me every week; the other day he calls me a brother, after a week I’m supposed to go to ICC. I don’t know when he intends on taking me to ICC but I’ll keep doing the work for Nairobians,” said Badi.
Badi accused Sonko of frustrating his work by declining to sign budgets passed by the county assembly, which has forced NMS to borrow funds elsewhere.
“I borrowed initially because I didn’t have any funds for the first three months because the governor had blocked it…we started by getting money from the national government through different ministries, we coordinated and took it as an all government approach to clean up Nairobi,” he said.
“The county assembly has voted for a budget, which the governor has rejected. Initially, when I came in, he also refused to give me a budget…a few days before the end of the financial year, he signed knowing I would not make use of the money; he knew that I had borrowed it and it was just offsetting what he had signed.”
He clarified that does not have any political ambitions and urged Sonko to work with him and even take credit for work done by NMS.
“He (Sonko) believes I am finishing him politically, but I have no political ambitions. I have told him that several times before. In fact, he should take advantage of what I’m doing by taking credit for it, but he doesn’t, he intends to fight. The truth will be known soon,” said Badi.
He expressed satisfaction with the work he has done so far regardless of the many challenges he has faced.
“It (Nairobi) was sort of disorganized…but reaching a General in the military means that you have done management at a higher level including war, so it’s not a new area for me. Managing a city is just like management in the military…so it’s not been hard,” he stated.
“I started with garbage…the same day I was sworn in at State House before I was even told where my office is, I was in Muthurwa market managing the NMS trucks in collecting garbage. We had to bring sanity in the garbage collection.”
He added: “They (enemies) are still coming, but enemies are part of my training, we’re taught to fight and deal with enemies…so we’ll deal with them as they come.”

Ningependa kujua, uliwaruhusuje watu kama Ndugu Sonko kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini?
Nakuomba usome katiba yetu mpya Sura ya Sita kabla hujamruhusu mtu yeyote kugombea kiti cha uongozi mnamo mwaka wa 2022>
Tunataka Kenya mpya. Hatuwezi kuwa na Kenya mpya kama ukiwaruhusu watu wenye tabia za ajabu kugombea kiti na kuchaguliwa kuwa viongozi nchini!

Ndugu Imara Daima,I have said many times on this forum that,we the people are to blame.Why do we election corrupt,and inefficient leaders,and then complain of dismal performance if any, from them.We know these Sonkos of the world cannot pass even the most basic integrity test.We the people must demand accountability from our leaders.We elect them to serve us.Not the other way round.

It is easier collecting garbage in Muthurwa market than selling charcoal in Kisimayo.

@Maxiley - Ndugu. Asante sana kwa maoni yako ya busara
Wafula Chebukati ndiye anayeamua watakaopigigiwa kura kwenye uchaguzi. Alijua ya kwamba makamu wa rais alikuwa ameiba shamba la marehemu Muteshi na akakumkubali kuendelea na mambo ya siasa nchini!
Makamu wa rais alichukua wakati ambao anatakiwa kuwa akifanya kazi na kuendelea na masomo yake mpaka akapata shahada ya uzamivu Ph.D. Isitoshe, makamu wa rais anataka kugombea urais 2022. Mara tu baada ya uchaguzi uliopita, alianza mara moja kufanya mikutano ya siasa huku akitumia vifaa vya serikali bure. Kwa nini hashikwi na kupelekwa mahakamani kwa kuipunja serikali?
Kwa nini Wafula Chebukati naye haondolewi kazini? Mtu huyu ndiye aliye na ufunguo wa maendeleo nchini. Akiendelea kuwaruhusu majambazi, mapwaguzi, na matapeli kuingia kwenye serikali, Kenya haitaweza kuendelea mbele kama nchi jirani.

Blame the voters he got the majority vote, and he will again if Voters do not wake up. For the general he is on the wrong job generals belong to the barracks where the military take commands and questions later, Nairobi is not a military stage city so do your job and stop the threats 2022 you can run for and elected post see how you fair.
