FATF added Kenya to the grey list in February 2024 primarily because it found strategic deficiencies in the country’s AML/CFT systems. In a bid to be moved from teh Grey Steps President Ruto has taken several legal and institutional steps in response including: 1. The Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws (Amendment) Act, 2025 was enacted to tighten AML/CFT controls. 2. Targeted Financial Sanctions under POTA: The Prevention of Terrorism Act empowers Kenyan authorities to designate individuals and entities suspected of financing terrorism or facilitating the movement of illicit funds linked to extremist networks. 3. Central to implementing these sanctions is the Counter Financing of Terrorism Inter-Ministerial Committee (CFTIMC), a multi-agency body designed to ensure coordinated decision-making and intelligence-driven enforcement.
