Coalition for reforms and democracy Cord's push for a referendum to ammend the constitution will fail, again.
Cord members had tried pushing for the referendum by collecting signatures but they failed when the Independent electoral and boundary commission, IEBC rejected the signatures on account that they did not meet the required threshold number of 1 million.
Now the Cord executive committee co-chairs Johnstone Muthama, who is also Machakos senator and James Orengo, Siaya senator have announced that they will camp in front of the IEBC offices on Monday until the commission clears them to go on with the referendum.
The push for referendum will fail because Cord is still dealing with the same IEBC officials who failed them last time.
Aptly put, Cord is dealing with the same "monkey" in a different forest. A new referendum, and indeed any other fair electoral processes, is only possible under a newly constituted IEBC.
