NATIONAL POLICY ON CONFISCATION

It is committed to implementing a transparent, robust and efficient approach to confiscation of criminal assets. In this endeavor, relevant agencies should be suitably equipped and empowered to implement a coordinated and strategic approach to the confiscation and management of criminal assets.
