Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo has described the opposition’s failure to support two pieces of legislation designed to address money laundering, terrorism financing and other issues, as unpatriotic and disappointing.

The legislation were the Miscellaneous Provisions (FATF Compliance) Bill, 2025 and The Counter-Proliferation Financing Bill, 2025, in the House of Representatives on September 19.

The bills were debated together and passed with 27 votes for, zero votes against and seven abstentions.
