#ABCBankScandals: ABC Bank Denies Money Laundering Despite Mounting Evidence

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Kenya has been on a downward spiral in terms of illicit finance flowing through its borders.

From the time of the pirates at the coast of Somalia, to the mega corruption scandals where money is carried in gunny bags, Kenya is a money launderers haven.

African Banking Corporation (ABC) Bank has been on the spotlight this past few days over money laundering and other serious financial crimes.

This site has exposed ABC Bank for money laundering, aiding terrorism and bribery.

Yesterday, Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) continued the exposure of ABC Bank as a criminal bank yet the Governor of Central Bank (CBK) Patrick Njoroge is still mum.

When will CBK get serious?

Wasn’t the National Intelligence Service (NIS) report of 2017 enough to investigate this bank and even close it down?

Kenyans have previously lost money in banks that acted the way ABC is acting.

Remember Euro Bank, Imperial and Chase Banks.

Even as KOT exposed ABC further, the bank chose to defend itself by giving blanket and flimsy reasons without giving bit by bit response to the allegations.
