An appraisal of the Institutional framework under the Kenyan proceeds of crime and Anti-Money laundering act, 2009

Department of Criminal Justice and Procedure / Money laundering (ML) evolves in tandem with global technological advancement. This
phenomenon calls for multi-faceted responsive measures at national and international levels
to combat this nefarious crime.1 Today, combating ML requires co-operation among, inter
alia, financial intelligence units (FIUs), reporting institutions, law enforcement agencies, the
judiciary, as well as inter-state co-operation. In response to the ML threat, Kenya has adopted
comprehensive anti-money laundering (AML) laws, such as the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-
Money Laundering Act No. 9 of 2009 (POCAMLA) and the Prevention of Terrorism Act No. 30
of 2012. These, among other statutes, constitute the principal arsenal of the AML legal
framework.
