FATF: verstärkte Beobachtung (graue Liste)

Since February 2024, when Kenya made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and ESAAMLG to strengthen the effectiveness of its AML/CFT regime. Kenya has taken steps towards improving its AML/CFT regime, including by improving riskbased AML/CFT supervision of FIs and DNFBPs; enhancing the understanding of preventive measures by FIs and DNFBPs, including to increase STR filing; designating an authority for the regulation of trusts and collection of accurate and up-to-date beneficial ownership information and improving the use and quality of financial intelligence products. Kenya has also brought its TFS framework into compliance with R.6 and is ensuring its effective implementation and has revised its framework for NPO regulation and oversight to ensure that mitigating measures are risk-based and do not disrupt or discourage legitimate NPO activity. Kenya should continue to work to implement its FATF action plan to address its strategic deficiencies, including by:

1. implementing remedial actions for breaches of compliance with transparency requirements for legal persons and arrangements
2. increasing ML investigations and prosecutions in line with risks
