UNSC 1373 List

United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) 1373 and its successor resolutions refer to designating individuals and entities related to terrorism and terrorist financing at the national level.

Accordingly, Institutions are obliged to have measures in place to identify and freeze funds, financial assets or economic resources of such designated persons and entities upon order by the Competent Authority.

The Prevention of Terrorism Regulations mandates the Counter Financing of Terrorism Inter-Ministerial Committee with circulation of the UNSC 1373 sanctions list. The Committee has in turn mandated the Financial Reporting Centre to circulate the list to Supervisory Bodies as defined in POCAMLA Act, National Security Organs, Law Enforcement Agencies, and other relevant institutions.

A current 1373 list will be maintained by FRC on this website.

MUTUAL EVALUATION REPORT FOR KENYA

Kenya underwent an Anti-Money Laundering, Counter Terrorist Financing and Counter Proliferation Financing (AML/CFT/CPF) assessment by the Eastern and Southern Africa Anti-Money Laundering Group (ESAAMLG) aimed at assessing Kenya’s compliance with global AML/CFT/CPF standards.

Kenya’s Mutual Evaluation Report (MER) was adopted by the ESAAMLG Council of Ministers in September 2022 at its meeting in Livingstone, Zambia and subsequently published on the ESAAMLG website on November 11, 2022. The MER summarises the AML/CFT/CPF regime in the country also provides recommendations on how the country’s AML/CFT/CPF regime can be strengthened. A copy of the MER can be downloaded here.
