(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NAIROBI, Kenya, June 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Central Bank of Kenya has
today lifted the suspension on Dahabshiil Kenya (http://www.dahabshiil.co.ke),

fully. The Kenyan government suspended all licensed remittance providers on 7

The authorities have carried out a comprehensive review of Dahabshiil Kenya's
operations, policies and practices. They are satisfied that the company complies
fully with the law, and operates strict anti-money laundering and counter-
terrorism financing practices. Going forward, Dahabshiil will now benefit from
access to the Kenyan Ministry of Interior's new Integrated Population
Registration Services database, which the Ministry has introduced in order to
facilitate local customer due diligence. This is an industry-wide directive.
The Chief Executive Officer of Dahabshiil Group, Mr. Abdirashid Duale, said: "We
are delighted to resume our services in Kenya. The Dahabshiil network operates
in 126 countries, including Kenya, the UK and the USA, and we respect and comply
with the laws of each and every country. Our services provide a vital lifeline
for people to feed, educate and otherwise help their families and loved ones,
and to run businesses, thus creating jobs. We are also pleased we can resume
working with the many international organisations who use our services to
support vital humanitarian and development programmes."
Dahabshiil makes significant contributions to the Kenyan economy. It helps
create hundreds of thousands of jobs, either by providing direct employment, or
by enabling the transfer of investment funds, which creates more jobs, and
further helps reduce poverty. Dahabshiil supports communities in the countries
it serves, including Kenya. It invests 10% of its profits in humanitarian and
community regeneration projects, including building schools, hospitals, and
providing safe drinking water.
