The conflict has adversely affected the war against corruption, with Mr Haji having blocked a number of high-profile graft cases that Mr Kinoti had tried to independently prosecute. State House mandarins are paying keen interest on the matter with the State Law Office tasked to look for a way out of the logjam. Now, the same camp sees Mr Haji as their defender against supposedly political investigations pursued by Mr Kinoti. Politics aside, it would be difficult to trust the DCI, whether that be Mr Kinoti or anyone else, as an apolitical and independent prosecutor. The better option would be to have Mr Kinoti forward case files with watertight evidence so that Mr Haji cannot trash them without exposing himself.
