Mombasa Deputy Governor Hazel Katana's defection from Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to Jubilee is a political joke and mistake at the same time.
If the current political situation at the Coast region is anything to go by, Katana could have thought twice before making the decision.
Her dream of succeeding Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar is invalid.
Even without looking at the aspirants who have declared interest in the senatorial race, its not hard to see that Katana has boarded the wrong vehicle.
Mombasa residents have nothing to smile about whenever they hear President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto are in town.
The ruling party has failed to keep several promises it made to the region and the entire nation.
Where are the laptops UhuRuto promised Kenya? How many roads have they constructed at the Coast? How many youth have been employed since they took over power?
The recent claims that the title deeds issued to Coast residents are fake have only made the situation worse.
Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and his Kilifi countrpart Amason Kingi have affirmed that they will teach ODM defectors a bitter lesson by ensuring they are not re-elected.
Katana is the next patient in Joho and Kingi’s ward as she is about to recieves a dose of her own medicine.
