Kabando noted that disagreements and realignments are common, especially as politicians position themselves for future contests.
He pointed to the recent fallout involving former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and some of his former allies as an example of how fast political friendships can change.
According to Kabando, leaders who have worked together should still show mutual respect, even when they disagree.
He observed that while some of the concerns being raised against Gachagua may have substance, the timing and intensity of the attacks appear linked to shifting political loyalties.
He suggested that the former deputy president may need to reflect on the accusations being made against him and find ways to address them, noting that political rifts can sometimes be resolved through dialogue and self-assessment.
Kabando also drew parallels with past political fallouts in Kenya, showing that the current situation is not unique.
He recalled the breakdown of relations between former president Mwai Kibaki and some of his closest allies, including Njenga Karume and John Keen.
These divisions, he said, happened despite years of political cooperation and shared history.
