Last week’s terrorist attack in Nairobi provides an opportunity to strengthen Kenya’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) frameworks.
Then, President Uhuru Kenyatta promised that security agencies “ … will seek out every person that was involved in the funding, planning and execution of this heinous act”.
Recall that, on Jamhuri Day, last year, he said his government was keen to prevent illicit financial flows.
Money laundering and terrorism financing are major elements in the execution of terrorist plots.
