President William Ruto has pledged additional budgetary allocation to the investigating and prosecution agencies to fight money laundering.
Speaking during the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Prosecuting Agencies Conference in Mombasa on Thursday, Ruto admitted that Kenya, just like any other nation, is faced with challenges in handling money laundering and other organised crimes. ''The government of Kenya remains committed to ensuring the rule of law and advancing a human-centred approach to prosecution and pursuit of justice.
This conference has offered us an opportunity to respond to the emerging threats facing our country,'' Ruto stated. ''I look forward to your recommendations and assure you that the government of Kenya will support full empowerment and funding of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for their implementation effectively,'' he assured.
