"content": " Thank you very much. The proposed sub paragraph 4 is to be found in the amendment we made in regards to the Schedule. The law is the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act No.9 of 2009, Section 8(4). It says that the act of the lawyer, notary or other independent legal professionals seeking to dissuade telling a client not to do what is wrong in engaging in an illegal activity, does not constitute the offence of tipping off under this section. That is the one he wanted to know. As regards confidentiality, this will actually have it in the old Act, but the Law Society went to court and had that particular provision suspended. To cure the problem, there was an engagement between the Law Society of Kenya, the Attorney General, and the Financial Reporting Centre. They are the ones who hammered this amendment to the extent that the Law Society of Kenya alone becomes a self-regulating body. This is how the lawyers were able to cover themselves."
