"content": "As I have mentioned, there are other issues that few Members raised on the issue of making anti-money laundering offences extraditable offences. That is also true. We have seen the Island of Jersey seeking to extradite a former Cabinet Minister and a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a State corporation of this country so that they can face charges on crimes of corruption involving companies that were domiciled in the United Kingdom. Those are the kinds of provisions we are seeking to introduce in this law so that if you commit a crime today, you can be dealt with appropriately. When I was seconding Hon. Murugara, I gave the example of the title “Triton Energy Saga”. You remember people who looted billions of shillings in this country, after which they comfortably flew out and are living in other countries happily. Since we do not have a law that makes money laundering an extraditable offence, we cannot extradite back to the country anyone who has committed a money laundering crime."
