I still don't understand your reasoning. CORD has done nothing but seek a free and fair election since the 2013 elections.
1. The Supreme Court ruled that Hassan and the IEBC be investigated and sanctioned. Uhuru had a simple way of delaying the investigations: He started the long process of disabling the EACC along with other delaying tactics.
2. Wafula Buke filed a
petition for the removal of the IEBC. Jubilee used its numbers to frustrate the petition
3. CORD supported the Petition by Buke and in fact withheld its own
petition as drawn by Anyang Nyong'o 4.
CORD met the IEBC and filed specific demands. This was to rule out any possibility of arguing that CORD had not tried to meet the IEBC. No results

CORD meets Hassan, wants IEBC to prove it can hold fair polls5. When dialogue failed and Hassan and Jubilee resorted to arrogance including vowing that the IEBC will stay put CORD launched OKOA Kenya with a view of getting a popular removal of IEBC and securing a free and fair election. The IEBC blatantly rigged the process and caused the plebiscite to fail before a vote.
6. CORD having realized that the IEBC as constituted was incorrigible made the decision to get rid of it in one swoop through street demonstrations. Your views on the demos are forever preserved here and multiple search engines
7. CORD opted for structural changes to ensure that it mattered not who was heading the IEBC. Many asked what it is we had achieved when Uhuru was to name the Commissioners
8. Uhuru gets advice from Ndung'u, Abdi Kadir, Njee Muturi and Issack Hassan about the implications of the changes. He scuttles some of the changes in parliament.
I have given a survey of what CORD has done since 2014 to date. I have left out many small details but picked the key moments.
So would you stop this monotonous refrain: What has CORD done the last 4 years.
Note that free and fair elections are the responsibility of all Kenyans as dictated by the constitution which states:
3. (1) Every person has an obligation to respect, uphold and defend this Constitution.
Exactly.
The important thing to learn for CORD, having wasted 3 to 4 years, before bringing these issues up, is that the electronic system is not ready for 2017. In other words, they should prepare for a manual election with all the necessary logistics that they did not have in place in 2013. Ensure an agent at every count at polling station level recording on video(cell phones, camcorders and what have you) for instance. In fact given the state of the election system, CORD should insist on and prepare for a purely manual election in 2017.
