Let me express my gratitude to the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) for the invite and organizing this launch event. I note that the campaign targets the public particularly the youth to enhance their capacity to make sound and informed financial decisions. The context of the Campaign is the vibrant financial sector. Kenya's financial ecosystem has transformed significantly in the last decade and a half.
Nevertheless, the fact that this phenomenon has emerged and is affecting our jurisdiction and wider region, is reason enough for us to try and find mechanisms that will allow us to better understand the financial aspect of this illicit activity, and have a concrete understanding of the money flows linked to this lucrative trade.
