    "content": "and Legal Affairs in workshops held in 2004, 2005 and 2007 to make them understand and appreciate the provisions of this Bill. Suggestions made by the stakeholders were incorporated in this Bill. It is important to point out that The Proceeds of Crime and Anti- Money Laundering Bill was first published in October, 2006 and tabled in Parliament in November, 2006. However the Bill lapsed at the end of the Parliamentary Session on 7th December, 2006. The Bill was subsequently published in April, 2007 but lapsed when Parliament was prorogued on October, 2007. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I mentioned earlier on, the Bill went through the Second Reading in May, 2008 but lapsed on 24th February, 2009. The new Bill was republished on 17th July, 2008. Let me assure hon. Members that this Bill generally meets the global standards and best practices. It is comprehensive in its scope and coverage with regard to institutions required to comply with its provisions. In view of the problems that money-laundering causes to an economy and the society as I have, indeed, enumerated the debate should not be whether or not Kenya should establish an anti-money laundering regime but rather the quality of the legislative regime. Therefore, I request hon. Members to support this Bill so that we can achieve our shared vision to build a nation free of money laundering and corruption. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few words, I beg to move and request the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister to second this Bill."
