Taking flight from Azimio la Umoja coalition to Kenya Kwanza is a no brainer. The defectors, as it should be called for what it is by law, should just say they are hungry and looking for ways to butter their bread.

Solid, principled leaders with vision and mission in their lives do not just wake up, jump ship to a ruling political party and start bleating how they have "seen the light", "feel betrayed", "do not believe in the direction our party is taking" blah blah blah blah! Actually, that makes no logical sense. It is a simple survival personal instinct that should not be sugarcoated with such cry baby words.

Two examples are sufficient to drive my point home. Remember a political party by the name FORD? When its members could not agree on how to run a common political front against the Professor of Politics, Daniel arap Moi, they split to become Ford-Asili which was led by Kennedy Matiba and Ford-Kenya, best remembered with names such as Kijana Wamalwa, both of good memory. They did not jump to the "Jogoo" party (Kanu) to protest against their leader.
