Of Computer Glitches, Moving Human Fingers and Illicit Financial Flows
Kenya is patently a kleptocracy where both the government and society are imbued by corruption and runaway greed. Dr Nicholas Githuku explores how the combination of “itchy” human fingers and the rapid development of digital technologies—such as mobile banking, electronic money transfer, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, and online banking and gambling services all of which are quite popular in Kenya— have facilitated or contributed to illicit financial flows ranging from corruption, illegally earned, or transfer of, money and cybercrime among others such as tax evasion and tax avoidance, organized crime, human trafficking, and many other forms of crime associated with these illegal activities.
