President Uhuru Kenyatta has in recent months revamped the campaign against grand corruption with the new head of DCI and Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji playing a key role.
Politics and incompetence by investigators have in the past been blamed for the collapse of cases of documented high profile graft situations.
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti now says special courts should be established to speed up prosecution of corruption cases and protect witnesses and evidence.
In an interview with the Nation, Mr Kinoti said that any anti-corruption purge in a democracy was a vicious war involving entrenched and influential interests determined to fight back.
