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.
