The war on graft in high places was always going to be a tough one — and that is why President Uhuru Kenyatta's direct intervention was essential in ensuring significant headway is made on this front.
And the President's anti-corruption crusade will succeed or fail in the hands of two constitutional offices — the office of the Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission (EACC) and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). As things stand today, the obvious lack of harmonised communication from the two offices on ongoing investigations point to institutional friction.
