PBORA Director, Dr Kiptoo, leads Kenyan delegation to AFIS 2026

Kampala, Uganda, November 9, 2026 – The Public Benefit Organizations Regulatory Authority (PBORA) has joined African regulators and financial intelligence leaders at the Africa Financial Intelligence Summit (AFIS) 2026, reaffirming its commitment to the global fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.

PBORA's delegation is led by Director, Dr Laxmana Kiptoo. The summit runs from November 9 to 11, 2026 at the Speke Resort Convention Centre in Munyonyo.

Held under the theme "Securing Africa's Financial Future: Intelligence, Innovation and Integrated Enforcement in an Era of Borderless Financial Crime", AFIS 2026 brings together government leaders, financial intelligence experts, regulators, law enforcement agencies and international partners.

Their aim is to strengthen Africa's collective response to financial crime.

Uganda's Minister for Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Hon. Henry Musasizi, told delegates that digital financial services, mobile money, virtual assets and other emerging technologies bring both opportunities and risks. While these innovations are transforming the financial landscape, he said, they have also created new vulnerabilities that criminal networks can exploit.

He urged African countries to strengthen timely intelligence sharing, joint investigations and coordinated responses to cross-border financial crimes.

The summit offers a platform for knowledge exchange, strategic partnerships and stronger institutional approaches to transparency, accountability and financial integrity.
