CORD Effect
I expected a lot when it was launched, with Ababu Namwamba and KJ spearheading this, I thought that Team Uhuru had finally met its match and looked forward to awesome, entertaining campaigns.
Lifted from an article on the Standard:
CORD Effect that was chaired by Sports minister Ababu Namwamba used road shows, town hall meetings, and made appearances in talk shows to reach the people. Mr Namwamba was assisted by Wiper’s Charles Kilonzo. Nairobi politician John Kiarie was the group’s secretary in charge of logistics. Other members included Rosa Buyu, former Kasarani MP Elizabeth Ongoro, Brian Weke who ran in Embakasi West, and all East African Legislative assembly CORD members. And 23 days to the March 4 General Election, the coalition moved to once again reinvigorate its campaign machinery amid concerns Raila’s State House bid was being affected by lack of a countrywide grassroots presence. Raila and Kalonzo then delegated the functions of the CORD Executive Board, co-chaired by Public Service minister Dalmas Otieno and Defence assistant minister David Musila to a Special Committee headed by Roads minister Franklin Bett and Agriculture assistant minister Gideon Ndambuki, with overall responsibility over the coalition’s campaign operations.
