    "content": "Affairs (Mr. Cheptumo): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. As confirmed to this honourable House, on 2nd August, 2012, the then Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC) had not investigated Charterhouse Bank Ltd. over the offence of money laundering in 2004 to 2005 as there was no law existing then that defined money laundering as an offence in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when answering this Question on 2nd of August again, I undertook to peruse the two reports of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, being the report on Charterhouse Bank Ltd. Investigation and the Report on the Petition on Charterhouse Bank Ltd. with a view to ascertaining whether or not the bank was closed due to allegations of money laundering. I have perused through the two reports and I am satisfied that the bank was closed due to the bank’s failure to follow banking prudential guidelines and not money laundering. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish also to confirm that between 2004 and 2009, Mr. Henry Mwithya or any other officer of the Commission did not undertake any investigations on money laundering at Charterhouse Bank Ltd. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
