WHY?
Kenya is seen as an economic hub in Africa hence a prime target for money laundering and financial crimes such as arms,drugs & human trafficking, fake gold scams and tax evasion.Cyber-attacks have increased significantly driven by increased adoption of digital banking and e-commerce platforms by financial institutions, State agencies, healthcare providers, energy and utilities companies.
Non-compliance with money laundering control obligations could result in significant regulatory and reputational damage as well as financial penalties resulting in financial losses or even withdrawal of licenses for serious breaches of the rules on AML/CTF.
CEOs of private entities face a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine of Kes 1 million in case they fail to set up internal code of conduct to deter bribery and corruption in their organizations.
