In an interview with a local mainstream media outlet, Nairobi County governor Mike Sonko said that Jubilee Vice-Chair David Murathe was one of the two people behind his woes.
The media has been awash with reports of Mr Murathe's call for Sonko's ouster, saying that the governor's 'tantrums' would not forestall that prospect.
But who is this man David Murathe?
Here are some facts about him:
He is a no-nonsense, tough-talking man.
In the lead-up to the controversial Raila Odinga's swearing-in, he warned that those involved in the seditious act would be hanged.
Mr Murathe has been President Uhuru Kenyatta's aide.
He is currently the vice-chair of the governing Jubilee Party.
He is a former MP for Gatanga constituency, a seat he won on a Social Democratic Party ticket in 1997.
In 2002, he lost the seat and retreated to a quiet life.
He came back to the public limelight in 2013 when he joined the UhuRuto campaign.
