DELEGATES from the East African Community and beyond are set to convene in Kigali in September to discuss ways to explore ways of addressing money laundering and terrorist financing.
The one-day forum is organised by Cyber Security Africa, a technology security solutions company based in Nairobi, Kenya.
According to the organisers, the workshop will bring together key stakeholders from governments, law enforcement agencies, financial institutions and security experts from the region.
Sammy Kioko, the Alliance Manager, Cyber Security Africa, said the forum will deliberate on changes in the money service business regulatory landscape, adopting the latest best practices to protect companies from fraud, anti-money laundering and terrorist financing measures, among others.
“Money laundering prevention and counter terrorist financing continues to challenge financial services all over the world. This is the best moment for regional countries to understand the measures to combat this crime,” he said.
According to Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), a police agency charged with the control of suspect financial transactions in the country, money laundering cases in the country are very low.
The latest statistics from the agency show that from last year up to March this year, 124 suspicious transactions were reported.
