KDF to launch training to combat terrorism financing, money laundering

The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has announced the launch of a five-day training program aimed at combating terrorism financing and money laundering from April 22 to 26.

The initiative, organised in collaboration with the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC),  is designed to enhance institutional and individual capacities in addressing the financial dimensions of terrorism.

The program, themed “Initiative for Countering Terrorism Financing and Money Laundering”, will combine legal training, modern technology demonstrations, and international cooperation frameworks to build resilience and public awareness around these threats.

KDF said the sessions will explore strategies to curb terrorism financing operations through knowledge sharing and expert-led sessions, while also focusing on preventive measures.

The event will be presided over by the Cabinet Secretary for Defence, Soipan Tuya.
