You have two options. Apply for subsequent bond offers at CBK, primary market. For example you buy a 5 year bond in a certain month then several months later buy a 10 year bond on offer then (or whichever other is on offer). Buy an existing bond in secondary market. For example buy a 5 year bond in a certain month then several months later return to secondary market to buy the same 5 year bond (or any other that is made available for purchase). ...................,............. Thanks for education.I now know where to start.Im now planning to open the cds account at central bank before january.i will keep you posted.

CDS account takes 14 working days; I f you know people you can get in 5 days like me.

My lady at CBK told me that if it takes more than 14 days to get a CDS account then its your commercial bank who is playing the delay tactics! Big banks/tier-1 are notorius for doing that especially if you have a monied account with them. Want to open a CDS account chap chap? Move your cash (if above 1 million) from tier-1 to KWFT or Faulu temporarily then wire them back to tier-1 or CBK direct after getting CDS account and/or after successfully bidding the bills/bonds. Now you know.

I am not saying that you buy the bonds through your commercial banks. What I say is that the CBK will you to have a commercial bank account in order to do the bills/bonds. Now your bank will need to do some checking and stamping some forms from CBK, and its at that point when they take their sweet time...with baseless excuses, sijui ohhh our system with CBK is down, commercial director is in Juba, your account has an error which needs to be corrected,sujui be patient youngman, eti patience pays....na saa hiyo the bond market is already closed.
