The National Assembly has debated the Anti-Money Laundering and Combating of Terrorism Financing Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2023.

The Bill moved by Leader of Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung'wa (Kikuyu) seeks to amend various Acts of Parliament relating to money laundering, countering financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

The National Assembly continued with debate on the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill 2023. The Bill seeks to amend the Climate Change Act of 2016 to provide for regulation of the carbon markets.

This provision will provide the legal framework for carbon trading which was lacking in the law enacted in 2016 to enhance response to climate change through mechanisms for a low carbon climate resilient environment.
