When President Uhuru Kenyatta relaunched the anti-graft war in 2015, declaring corruption a national security threat, it heralded the start of a new Kenya. And since then, the President has been at the forefront of the anti-graft war, constantly pushing for investigative and prosecutorial agencies to fast-track corruption cases. The corruption cases have impacted not just the so-called small fish but also high-profile personalities, including serving and former governors specifically from Nairobi, Samburu, Busia and Kiambu counties. These convictions show the war against graft is steadily on course and has not been hampered by the so-called ‘turf wars’ between the graft agencies. The cooperation among the multi-agency institutions has been the cornerstone of the success so far attained in the war against corruption.
