ISS Seminar: Money Laundering in East Africa
Nairobi, 16 October 2008
- Summary Report: ISS / AHSI Seminar on Money Laundering in East Africa, Nairobi, 16 October 2008 (PDF 113kb)
Hosted by the Africa Human Security Initiative (AHSI)
This seminar is based on the acknowledgment that economic crime, especially in its organised form, is of a significant magnitude on the continent. There have been very few successful prosecutions on money laundering in particular. A vast range of activities are susceptibility to money laundering in the region and it is thus imperative to identify the indicative factors. The seminar therefore aims to raise awareness of the nature of money laundering in the region, the proceeds of market based economic crimes and how the authorities have responded to these crimes. It also intends to highlight the impact of the crime on development prospects.

- Mr Charles Goredema, ISS: Money Laundering in the East African Region
- Mr Michael Wanyika, KPMG: How Kenya has handled the phenomenon
