2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly:
THAT, that the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2021), be now Read a Second Time. Before I even move, I want to thank the Members who have endured the Dilatory Motion that has been brought before this House for the last two hours. I ask them to endure the balance of time so that we can achieve what we came here to achieve. As you will notice, all the Members who came taking advantage of the Standing Orders and spending all the time have since disappeared. Basically, they were filibustering to ...

2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly:
This House is the supreme law-making body. It is recognised in the Constitution. It does not legislate for the rich or for the poor; for money launders or for other people. It legislates for the people of Kenya and for the welfare of society and the just government of the people. Nobody can take away that responsibility from this House. In moving this Motion, we are persuaded by the ordinary pain of the ordinary Kenyan that they have to endure because of the effects of corruption on their lives. I hear issues about limitation of rights and that there is ...

2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly:
These are the things we need to start thinking of. We are not doing this because of individuals. It is to protect that Kenyan; that suffering Kenyan, who is suffering because our country has been made a pariah. We passed this law because we are surrounded by all those neighbours. Putting Kenya and Somalia in the same basket is the worst thing that can happen. It is something that we need to clean up our image. We are the financial centre for this area and region. In the course of all those arguments, I know the Chair of the Departmental ...

2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly:
Let me also say that we have had interactions with the various agencies. Some of the people, including Hon. Murugara who raised this issue, were with us in Mombasa. At that point, he committed to support this Bill. When he did the turn around, I do not know. Let me get to the Bill. The principal object of this Bill can be summarised as being the imposition of reporting obligations and expanding the number of people with reporting obligations to now include advocates. One may ask: Why are we talking of advocates? I do not even want to think of ...

2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly:
When the Financial Action Task Force carried out a study to identify the risk groups – the most vulnerable, the legal profession in Kenya was identified as a high risk profession. For the record, between the year 2012, 8th September and 2021, the number of suspicious transactions that were reported on lawyers in this country were 326. The number of suspicious transactions where a lawyer assisted in this country were 579. This is growing. So, basically, we are not talking of lawyers not being included from the blues. It is because every time a transaction takes place, a lawyer – ...
