    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Member for Maara Constituency, I also salute the pupils from Iruma Primary School. I studied at Chogoria Boys High School, which is near that area. I know where Iruma Primary School is. I want them to keep working hard to seek knowledge because knowledge is unbowed. I support the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws (Amendment) Bill before the House. Money laundering is a criminal offence. A criminal offence normally has three solutions. You can either be imprisoned, fined, or both. I expect this amendment Bill to improve on the penalties specified in the Proceeds of Crime and Anti- Money Laundering Act, 2009. The assets of culprits could also be frozen wherever they are. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I believe we have relationships with countries where Kenyans are fond of keeping money stolen from here. There is a possibility of extradition of those resources back to develop this country. I believe this has all been taken care of in the development of this legislation. Money laundering is closely linked to terrorism activities because terrorism financing does not go through the normal banking system. It goes through shortcuts. We, therefore, need to enhance the provisions of this law to make sure that it does The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
