The CJ noted that it is sad that a lawyer can achieve fame because of his or her ability to manipulate and frustrate the legal system.
Justice Maraga said the fight against corruption is a struggle for the restoration of law and order.
Chief Justice David Maraga will soon publish strict regulations for both the High Court and magistrates' courts that preside over anti-corruption cases.
Justice Maraga said because of the public-interest nature of the cases, the rules will ensure that once people are charged with economic crimes, they are set for conferencing within two days and hearings commence on a daily basis without adjournment.
