Should institutions always speak in favor of CORD to remain on the safe side?

It all started in 2013 when the coalition for reforms and democracy (CORD) principals disputed the election results and petitioned the presidential election. The Supreme Court upheld the elections and discarded the petition. Since then, this coalition was hell bent on accusing every institution of incompetence, corruption and ineptitude.

At first we were buying their narrative but it has reached a level where we only realized these people made blame games their business. They told us IEBC is inept because it over saw a dodgy election, we accepted. They told us our judiciary is corrupt because the Supreme Court made a compromised ruling on the presidential petition. Some Kenyans still bought this. A long the way, they in one way or another blamed the NCIC, EACC, TSC, PSC,IPOA Parliament, judiciary and most frequently the executive for being corrupt, depraved, debased and/or inept. What is chocking however is they never related these institutions with these ills when they ruled in their favor. Should these institutions always speak in favor of CORD to remain on the safe side?
