A specialized training course on countering terrorism financing and money laundering was launched in Kenya targeting representatives from legislative and executive bodies, financial institutions and civil society organizations.
The training, organized by the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) in collaboration with the Kenya Defence Forces seeks to strengthen institutional and individual capabilities in combating financing crimes related to terrorism.
The course, titled “Countering Terrorism Financing and Money Laundering –Foundation Level” was opened Monday by General Officer Commanding Central Command (GOC) Maj Gen John Nkoimo who represented the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Gen Charles Kahariri.

The training addresses seven main themes, including the legal framework, sources and means of terrorism financing, financial analysis and detection mechanisms, international and regional cooperation, prevention strategies, awareness and training programs, and promoting a culture of reporting suspicious activities.
