CORD cannot provide alternative leadership in Kenya

The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) is the second largest political coalition after the Jubilee Coalition by the virtue of political seats in both the Senate and the National Assembly. It has 117 elected Members of Parliament (MPs), 21 Women Representatives and 20 elected Senators. The number of nominated CORD MPs in both houses could also go well beyond ten.

With such a huge membership in parliament, the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) was expected to form a formidable political opposition that could drive fundamental change in terms of how the government policy is generated and implemented. However, it has ultimately miserably slackened.
