The EACC is investigating high profile cases that will lead to the conviction of prominent personalities, CEO Halakhe Waqo has said.
Waqo said this on Monday while defending the performance of the anti-corruption agency.
The CEO noted, however, that the commission cannot win the war on corruption on its won.
"The commission is doing all it can but the desire to get rich overnight, by individuals in both the public and private sectors, is complicating the fight."
He spoke on at the Commission's South Nyanza regional office during a visit.
Waqo noted that 10 people have been convicted for graft in the last 10 months and that "more will face the sword".
Regarding the National Youth Service saga, he said 27 individuals were arrested and are currently facing graft charges.
The EACC boss was with officials including commissioner Dabar Maalim.

Bidali, who read the judgement on behalf of Magistrate Felix Kombo, said he was satisfied that the accused acted in good faith at all times.
