    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 83 to join my colleagues to raise a Point of Order on a very fundamental constitutional question touching on the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2021). As you are aware and my colleagues have said it, I want to repeat, this Bill seeks to, among other things, expand the definition of reporting institutions. It says: “These will include advocates, notaries, and other independent legal professionals and their employees as persons of interest.” They will report and cooperate with investigative and enforcement agencies where transactions they are handling are suspected to be related to proceeds of crime and money laundering. Two, this Bill seeks to, among other things, apply the provisions of the Act to advocates, notaries and other independent legal professionals and their employees when preparing or carrying out transactions for their clients - including securities, management of banks and savings, security accounts, organisation of contribution for the creation or operation of the management of companies and creation and operation and management of buying and selling of business entities or legal arrangements. Three, this Bill seeks to include the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority, in the First Schedule to the Act, as a supervisory body responsible for advocates and the SACCO Societies Act for the application and enforcement of the Act."
