SUBJECT: TANZANIAN PARLIAMENT PASSES ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING 
BILL 
 
REF: DAR ES SALAAM 0243 
 
DAR ES SAL 00001849  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1.  After nearly two years of drafting, re-drafting, 
discussion and briefings, the Tanzanian Parliament passed the 
"Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2006" on November 14 in Dodoma, 
the legislative capital.  A milestone in post's efforts to 
advance counterterrorism, good governance and transparency 
goals under our Mission Performance Plan, this legislation 
opens the way for the establishment of a Financial 
Intelligence Unit, a pillar of the USD 11.9 million 
Millennium Challenge Threshold Account program signed by the 
USG and the Government of Tanzania (GOT) in May 2006. 
 
2.  During the parliamentary floor debate before voting on 
the Act, the local press reported that most Members of 
Parliament (MP) hailed the bill as an important next step to 
supplement GOT laws already on the books to track down the 
criminal use of funds, including the "2003 Proceeds of Crime 
Act."   However, the MPs' principal concern during the debate 
was to ensure that the executive branch step up and commit to 
making the Act effective through quickly enacting strong 
implementing regulations.  Several Parliamentarians spoke out 
that the implementation of the new law must "have teeth" to 
enable law enforcement to track down "grand" corruption at 
high levels, drug barons and money launderers.  Other 
Parliamentarians criticized the bill for not providing 
adequate protection for whistle blowers. 
 
3.  The summary of the key elements of the 2006 "Anti-Money 
Laundering Act" include provisions to: 
 
  -- finance and strengthen provisions to prevent and 
     prohibit money laundering; 
  -- provide for the disclosure of information on 
     money laundering; 
  -- establish a financial intelligence unit; 
  -- and to set up a national multi-disciplinary committee 
     on money laundering. 
 
Among the money laundering activities defined as criminal 
acts under the new law are corruption, terrorism, piracy, 
forgery, drug trafficking, organized crime, human trafficking 
and counterfeiting. 
 
4.  The Anti-Money Laundering Act was initially drafted by 
the Ministry of Finance in late 2004, but was stalled for 
almost 24 months primarily due do Tanzania's 2005 
presidential and legislative campaigns and December 2005 
general elections.  This election ushered into office a new 
administration under President Jakaya Kikwete and a new 
Parliament with nearly fifty percent "freshman": i.e. first 
term parliamentarians.  Since January 2006, the Ambassador 
had repeatedly raised the importance of rapid passage of this 
bill with senior Tanzanian officials, including President 
Kikwete, Speaker of the House Samuel Sitta, and Prime 
Minister Edward Lowassa (reftel). 
 
5.  The Ministry of Finance is responsible for drafting the 
implementing regulations to bring the Anti-Money Laundering 
Act into force.  In addition, the Ministry of Finance in 
collaboration with USAID is organizing a roundtable scheduled 
for January 16 for all stakeholders involved in the creation 
and effective operation of the Financial Intelligence Unit 
(FIU).  The Ministries of Finance, Public Safety, Justice, 
Ministry of Finance Zanzibar, Tanzania Revenue Authority, 
Prevention of Corruption Bureau, other relevant GOT agencies, 
the Bank of Tanzania, commercial banks, as well as 
development partners, the World Bank, IMF and other 
multilateral donors will be invited to examine and discuss 
next steps to bring the FIU into operation. 
 
Comment 
------- 
6.  The passage of the 2006 Anti-Money Laundering Act 
represents the culmination of a team effort on part of the 
entire Mission.  Through post's close coordination with the 
Ministry of Finance and the legislative branch of the GOT, 
from early 2006 onward the bill moved steadily forward until 
 
DAR ES SAL 00001849  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
its passage on November 14.  With USD 1.5 million in funding 
from the Millennium Challenge Threshold Account program 
already in the pipeline to establish the Financial 
Intelligence Unit (FIU), once the implementing regulations 
are enacted, the FIU can become fully active in a relatively 
short time.  In addition, the new law strengthens Tanzania's 
legislative framework to address counterterrorism, 
anti-corruption, counter-narcotics and anti-human trafficking 
efforts.  Post will continue to closely cooperate with all 
relevant GOT agencies until the FIU is fully operational.
