Agencies tasked with fighting corruption include the EACC, ODPP, DCI, NIS, FRC, ARA and KRA.
In what appears to be the old norms of protecting turfs, the agencies now seem to be reading from different directions.
The much touted war on corruption appears to be hiccupping despite a presidential directive that all agencies must work closely.
The agencies were required to be meeting regularly, exchange notes on war against corruption and forge a common plan on cases they are pursuing which appears to be cooling off even as Central Bank re-issued rules that will make it difficult for customers to transact in cash amounts above Sh1 million.
