The war on corruption in Kenya seem to take a new twist with everyday that passes. This is a war that has been immersed in blame games and supremacy battles with agencies tasked with weeding out the corruption vice always at loggerheads.
This was made clearly evident yesterday when CJ David Maraga took on DCI George Kinoti and DPP Noordin Haji accusing them of jeopardizing the fight against graft.
Maraga called out the duo for conducting sham investigations and for not presenting watertight cases in Courts.
Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has now joined the conversation and according to him, Chief Justice David Maraga made the DCI George Kinoti and DPP Noordin Haji look like Kanu youth wingers.
Maraga lectured Kinoti and Haji on Friday during the Multi-Sectoral National Anti-Corruption Conference asking them to stop arresting suspects on Fridays.
“We are not going to win the war against corruption by Friday arrests…I do not want to appear like I am in a blame game but let the truth be told,” he said.
But via Twitter on Saturday, Ngunyi said the war on graft will not be won by blame games from the trio.
“Maraga made the DCI, DPP, AG and EACC look like KANU youth wingers. The war on graft will not be won using bells and whistles,” he said.
Ngunyi added “Friday arrests are a public cover up for prosecution incompetence. Haji and Kinoti are now on trial in the Court of public opinion.”

Has the DPP and DCI failed the Government in the war against Graft or is Maraga’s Judiciary to be blamed?
