Following the Garissa Attacks and
the need to disrupt flow of cash to terrorist organizations, the Kenyan
government has had to freeze 86 accounts related to entities linked to Islamic
terrorist organizations. The government has also reined in on Hawala (informal
cash transfer systems) businesses whose transfer protocols are vulnerable to
terrorist exploitation. The government has instead asked businesspeople
(especially those used to Hawala systems) to use the formal banking channels
for cash transfer.
This development comes after
influential leaders in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera counties pledged that they
will name terrorists, terrorist financiers and their sympathizers operating in
the area within a period of one week. The move by leaders confirms that there
exists terror cells in the region, and that these terror cells collaborate with
Kenyans in the region. Nonetheless, the move is commendable as it showcases the
dedicated efforts of public-private partnership to rout out the scourge of
terrorism in Kenya.
The government of Kenya has also
designated the following five entities as terrorist organizations:
- Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen (HSM), commonly known as Al Shabaab.
- Mombasa Republican Council (MRC).
- Al Qaeda.
- Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
- Jama’at Ahl al-Sunnah Li-l-Daw’ah wa-l-Jihad, commonly known as Boko Haram.
