Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) Governor Patrick Njoroge has pushed back at MPs’ plans to relax anti-money laundering laws, warning that the proposed amendments would frustrate the war on corruption and cut off Kenya’s banking sector from the global financial system.

The CBK boss Tuesday told MPs that Kenya risked being seen as tolerant to money laundering and financing of terrorism if it implemented changes proposed by the legislators six months ago.
