• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members will recall that The Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Bill was debated in this House in May, 2008 and went through the Second Reading.

I wish to report that we received on The Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Bill, 2008, views, concerns and proposals for amendment by various stakeholders.
