Cord co-principal and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has denied claims that the coalition is shielding corrupt governors.

According to the Nation, Kalonzo said that Cord will remain vocal on matters graft.
“We as Cord will continue to condemn rampant corruption being exposed in Jubilee government and we will not shield anyone whether in government or opposition who is mentioned and directly linked to graft,” he said.

He said that Cord will stand strong against graft whether in Jubilee or in the opposition.
Cord has have accused of exercising double standards in their efforts to castigate graft.
The Cord principals have been accused of condemning and criticizing the national government on matters graft and at the same time keeping quite when graft scandals are unearthed in counties where governors are elected on the opposition parties.
Cord leader Raila Odinga has been on the spot with the Jubilee government politicians accusing him of double speak on matters of graft.
The Jubilee politicians led by the National Assembly leader of Majority Aden Duale claim that Raila is allegedly benefiting from counties under the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
The Jubilee politicians are angered by Raila’s move to defend Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi against the alleged theft of Sh51 Million at the county government.
Last week, Raila defended Kingi saying that he was a whistle blower in the alleged scam and asked investigative agencies to go for the real suspects in the scam.
Raila’s statement angered Jubilee politicians who claimed that the Cord leader is not sincere in his push against graft.
