Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi now wants the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission disbanded as one of the first step in fighting graft.
The lawyer in a tweet said the commission has failed in its mandate of recovering stolen funds.
Ahmednasir said while billions of shillings are being looted in counties, the Commission has failed to recover the stolen funds.
"Kenya's strategy in fighting corruption has completely failed. EACC Kenya has been a spectacular failure. We need a new paradigm," the lawyer said.
"Disbanding EACC Kenya should be the first step in the new strategy. I can't believe they haven't recovered a penny from the hundreds of billions stolen by governors and other county officials between 2013-2023!"

The remarks come a day after an EACC report on its quarter two performance for the period covering April 30 to June 30 was gazetted.
In the report, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission forwarded 22 files on high-profile investigations to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
During the period, the Commission recommended five files for closure, but the DPP accepted one while three were returned for further investigations. One was recommended for administrative action.
Among the 17 is a case on the inquiry into allegations of irregular award of contracts for the implementation of the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project and subsequent payment of Sh18,499,082,672 to Lake Turkana Wind Power Limited.
The money was paid by various government agencies between 2005 and 2019.
