Minority Leader Junet Mohamed has criticized Kenyan banks for demanding explanations from customers withdrawing large sums, stating no law bars such transactions. This comes as Members of Parliament demand answers regarding President William Ruto’s claims that some legislators accepted Sh10 million to pass an anti-money laundering law.

• Junet Mohamed asserted that banks are acting outside the law by forcing depositors to justify withdrawals over Sh1 million, emphasizing that only Parliament can regulate banking transactions.
• Rarieda MP Otiende Omollo urged Parliament’s Powers and Privileges Committee to summon the President or senior government officials to explain the corruption allegations.
• President Ruto formed a multi-agency team, chaired by the Executive Office of the President and comprising 11 state institutions, to spearhead the war against corruption, aiming to improve collaboration and intelligence-sharing.
