Clause 11 seeks to enhance the operational independence of this Centre. It must be independent in terms of approving its terms and conditions of service and determination of its own staff by establishing--- The Centre may appoint officers necessary for the discharge. This is a very critical Centre. In fact, we must bring a further amendment that the people who will serve in this Centre must be vetted. They must be vetted because they are the custodians of a lot of information. They check on proceeds of ill-gotten wealth, corruption, terrorism and drug money. So, they must be given security ...

As I conclude, I wish to assure Members that the proposals contained in this Bill and the Anti-Bribery Bill which was introduced last week in the House by the Government are part of the measures the President is taking to ensure that we seal all loopholes. They came up as a result of what happened in the infamous National Youth Service (NYS). How does Kshs791 million move from one bank to another, many law firms and houses being bought without detection? That is why we feel each and every bank must be ready to make full disclosure of the accounts ...

9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly:
It is a very important Bill that will deal with corruption, financing of terrorism and proceeds of money laundering. These amendments are in line with international best practices. The role of the Money Laundering Advisory Boards or Councils all over the world is to advise the relevant Minister, in our case the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, on anti-money laundering matters. The present position suggests that the role of the board is merely to advise the Director. I want to assure the Members that the proposal contained in this Bill generally meets global best practices and international standards as ...

I want to make sure that all the Government Bills go through the Second and Third Readings. I thank the Members who are in the House until this late and that is why the Parliamentary Service Commission pays them. The ...
