By now many people agree with the saying that politics is a dirty game. Today we you are throwing stones for the politicians same same day they are sharing a plate.
Who ever expected that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mombasa Govervor Ali Hassan Joho could ever embrace each other? The leaders during election periods were busy hurling stones at each other but right now Joho is becoming Uhuru’s right hand man.
The bromance is so much beneficial to the coastal people. They are now eating from the pot they have missed for a while.
On Tuesday morning, Cabinet Secretary James Macharia was at the Mombasa International Airport to launch the lighting and rehabilitation of the runway as tourism boost is expected.

Mombasa Airport was expanded to international standards in 1979. Aircraft maintenance facilities for private and light- to medium-size commercial aircraft are provided from government and private hangars by Benair Aircraft Engineering, licensed by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) as an approved maintenance organisation (AMO).
This are among the fruits the coastal region have been missing for quite a while but now they can afford to enjoy.

The President has also delivered a bus promise to a school in Malindi as part of enriching the county.
The region is expected to continue eating big as the new relationship with the government seems compact.
Do you think dirty politics deprives counties from being part of development agenda?
