Fielding pointed questions from renowned BBC journalist Zeinab Badawi in Washington, President Uhuru Kenyatta dropped the strongest hint yet of the man who will be central to the shaping of his legacy.
Without mincing words, Uhuru told the BBC journalist that dealing with those engaging in corruption would be a huge part of his legacy.
"This is something I am committed to and it is something that I am committed to leave as my legacy in this country. The fight against corruption and to ensure that the public resources are used in the interest of the people of the Republic," President Uhuru said, maintaining that there would be no sacred cows in that anti-corruption crusade.
Though he did not directly mention the name of the person who would help him secure that legacy, one can solve that mystery by looking at recent developments.
A public servant from the County of Garissa going by the name Noordin Haji has been at the centre of the war against corruption.
Without his input, the shaping of that legacy would be riddled with difficulty.
Since his approval by Parliament, he has gone after high profile individuals who are alleged to have engaged in the plunder of public resources.
Haji has also echoed Uhuru's statement that there will be no sacred cows as has been demonstrated by the arrest of DCJ Philomena Mwilu on Tuesday.
Noordin Haji is the son of Garissa County Senator Yusuf Haji.
