Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Inspector General of Police, Hilary Mutyambai, on Monday, August 30, addressed the rising cases of money laundering in the country’s capital of Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The money laundering business, commonly referred to as wash wash, has become so prevalent in the country in the recent past.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his #EngagetheIG forum, Mutyambai affirmed that several suspects have been arraigned and charged over the issue.<\/p>\n

He added that the situation is being handled by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations’ (DCI) Serious Crimes Protection Unit (SCPU), that has jurisdiction on such crimes.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of this and we have arrested and arraigned several suspects on the same. We also have a unit under DCI that deals with serious crime and continues to arrest perpetrators,” Mutyambai stated.<\/p>\n

The IG urged Kenyans to desist from the get-rich-quick schemes that have lured majority of the public into huge debts.<\/p>\n

The scheme is presented as a lucrative deal that guarantees a huge and quick return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n

Commodities that are widely marketed include gold and diamonds, stocks, bonds, goods and services supplies and real estate.<\/p>\n

A recent instance saw media personality Felix Odiwuor alias Jalang’o receive harsh critisicm after being accused by blogger Edgar Obare of participating in the vicious scheme.<\/p>\n

Jalang’o, however, debunked the claims and attributed his wealth to opening multiple channels of businesses through honest means.<\/p>\n

“As you speak today, I think I’m a brand ambassador to almost five top brands. A brand ambassador, not influencer, for influencing I have a thousand and one. I’ll tell you easily, there’s a time I drive in this town and I see a billboard literally every single place, those things pay,” Jalang’o stated during the Kiss 100 morning show.<\/p>\n

The rebuttal came after Obare released a controversial thread implicating prominent businessmen in the scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
