The renewed fight on graft by President Kenyatta is welcomed however, the suggestions that legal frameworks be put in place to curb the menace is misinformed. The problem that we face as far as corruption is not lack of legal framework for fighting graft, it does exist, but the challenge is lack of enforcement of the relevant bodies mandated to fight corruption coupled with undue interference from the lords of impunity as well as some quarters of the government agencies.
And that is why the move by the President to appoint commissioners to fill the void at Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission is a step in the right direction, what remains now is for the agency to be given prosecution powers.
