"content": "Hon. Speaker, this Bill is good for this country. It is also true that anti-money laundering laws are not laws that are forced on any country by anybody. They are meant to protect our financial system against abuse. We cannot make Kenya a safe haven for criminals. It is, indeed, true that we have suffered the most, especially in terms of terrorism financing. Terrorists are financed by people who imagine that our financial system is porous that anybody can finance anyone to do anything. Before the enactment of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Bill of 2009, people were able to freely finance terrorists, who visited untold suffering on our people and caused many deaths. These will continue to be things of the past if this Bill is approved by this House and becomes an Act of Parliament because it seeks to strengthen the laws that already exist."
