The relationship between Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho and the Mombasa Senator Hassan Omar has been deteriorating day by day.
They have attacked each other in political podiums and other functions with each faulting the work of the other.
The two are asprirng to seat in the governors office come 2017 with the incumbent , Governor Joho, declaring that he is not ready to relinquish his seat.
On the other hand, Senator Omar has vowed to unseat Governor Joho come 2017.
However, the two politicians should ensure that they maintain cohesiveness among their supporters.
The two politicians enjoy a large following and they should ensure their differences do not lead to a major political crisis in Mombasa.
They should uphold unity, peace and co-existence among Mombasa residents.
Kenyans have been known to take all they are told by their leaders without weighing in on what the content of the matter is. These two leaders should be wary of this peculiar Kenyan behaviour, by weighing their utterances.
Elections do come and go and anyone who loses can still re-strategise and wait for the next elections.
The political heat currently being experienced in Mombasa between these two politicians should be dealt with lest it spreads to their supporters.
Mombasa is an economic hub and if disoriented by any political upheaval, the move can affect the economy of the country as a whole.
