"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like to support the Third Reading of the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws (Amendment) Bill. It is very important in combating money laundering and organised crime in our country. We have a serious problem on money laundering because a lot of our money is lost in this manner. For example, look at what is happening in the county governments. Look at what happened in Kiambu yesterday. A lot of money is stashed somewhere, and we do not know where it has come from nor its purpose. Why is that money not in a bank account? This Bill will deal with these kinds of things. Yesterday, the officers from Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) showed Kenyans many millions of shillings and dollars that had been stashed in homes. This is exactly why we are passing this Bill. People will be afraid of stashing money in their homes instead of keeping them in their bank accounts. If the money is in the bank account, there would be a formal way of accounting for it. People should not be allowed to keep any amount of money without accountability under the mattresses and beds in their homes anymore. I have been told the money that was found yesterday in Kiambu was covered with sufurias and plates. That is the information we got in Parliament. I do not know whether it is true. How does that happen in somebody's home? This Bill is timely. The President must assent to it as quickly as possible because it is going to help in the financial management of this country. With those few remarks, I support the Third Reading of the Bill."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As the Leader of the Minority Party has said, this Bill is indeed, very important because Kenya has been accused of money laundering. It will get rid of the shenanigans we saw yesterday. When people are arrested or called upon to account for money, they should not plead politics. They should just say they have been found with some money which are unexplained proceeds of crime, and go ahead and plead in a court of law. The rule of law will take its course. This law is very important. As it has been said, the President should assent to it as quickly as possible to deal with some of these untoward characters in Kenya."

For you to have more than one million shillings, you should explain its source. If you are unable to, then under the Assets Recovery Agency, it will be treated as proceeds of crime. Nobody is supposed to hold huge cash in their house, and more importantly, an elected leader."
