Upon questioning, one of the suspects Kassuja told police that the counterfeits were being printed in Kenya and sold to various people in the counterfeit business at a cheap cost.
“When we informed them that their notes were fake, they laughed it off. Instead, one of them insisted the money was genuine and claimed he had just received it from his nephew who works in Canada. He claimed his nephew got it from tips at his workplace,” said the bank official.

During October the nation’s 8 million smokers will again be encouraged to quit as part of the Stoptober campaign. Statistics show that if you can stop smoking for 28 days you are five times more likely to stay smoke free. Stoptober leads smokers through a detailed step by step programme to help you achieve your goal. The campaign is launched by Public Health England.
We know that smoking in pregnancy harms your baby. Cigarettes restrict the essential oxygen supply to your baby. They contain over 4000 chemicals and your babies heart has to beat harder each time you smoke. Protecting your baby from tobacco smoke is one of the best things you can do to give your child a healthy start in life.
The good news is it's never too late to benefit from quitting smoking. Because the most harmful effects of smoking during pregnancy occur in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, giving up smoking in the first 3 months of pregnancy reduces your risk of having a lower birth-weight baby to that of a non- smoker. However, giving up at any time in pregnancy will give your baby the best start in life.
When you see your midwife she will ask you questions about your lifestyle including whether you smoke or if anyone in your house hold smokes. If you smoke or have quit in the past 2 weeks your midwife will refer you to the Smoking Cessation Service for support. Please speak to your midwife if you need support with quitting smoking – we are here to help you, your partner and your baby.

FAO Brussels: You have just finished a short visit to Brussels. What opportunities and synergies did you see? What new avenues for collaboration lie ahead?
Zitouni Ould-Dada: The EU is an FAO Member and a big supporter of FAO’s work. During the meetings I had here in Brussels, many topics came up during the discussions related to food insecurity and poverty including climate change and SDGs, agrifood systems transformation, biodiversity loss, fisheries, deforestation, One Health, gender equality, innovation and digitalisation. This shows our shared common interests, vision and mutual commitments with the EU. This means that we have many opportunities to work together to merge our expertise and increase our support to countries. We need stronger collaboration and coherence in our actions to tackle the multiple challenges the world is facing today. It was clear from the discussions that both FAO and the EU are concerned about global food security and climate change and we see opportunities to collaborate more to accelerate the transformation of agrifood systems. We agreed to explore opportunities for collaboration and dialogue at COP27 including joint high-level events.
FAO Brussels: Let me now move to the newly endorsed FAO Strategy on Climate Change. We see that FAO is renewing and strengthening its efforts to meet the global climate emergency. How do you see this strategy aligning with FAO’s Strategic Framework, and the
