I prefer Bonds to Bills coz of the interest rate and also ease in handling them especially rolling over. Once you buy a 20 yr bond you'll just relax and get interest semi annually and reinvest the interest and by the time the bond matures, you'll have made a fortune to make you survive. Trust in God and endure patiently.

Me thought so too. Imagine placing 100M in a 20 year IFB bond coupons at 12%. This will give you monthly salo ya Kes.1M for 20 years (Yaani 4 terms as an mpig). Contrast this with buying a 20M land in kitusuru and putting up 2 mansions at 40M each...each mansion giving 200K pm at the best...thats 400K pm assuming full time occupancy. Then think about maintenance,kanjo,Riparian fears,non occupancy,difficult luo tenants etc for 20 years! Sometimes it's good to let the money work for you....sadly we don't have the 100M now.

True. 11.95% for such a long tenure is low. How would one go about buying the 2017/12 years from the secondary market?

You know at the age of 50-60 you can sell one of the houses and buy bonds to live off the interest in retirement. I'm sure healthcare costs would be really be expensive. In Africa due to inflation real estate still remains king. Africa is too risky for bonds politicians can mess up big-time. Imagine buying Somali govt bonds and the state collapses or a new regime deciding to give bond holders a haircut.

But you cannot start learning how to deal with bonds/bills at this age. Therefore you must start early. Invest in a family house to stay in, rest enjoy life my fren. Even the Michukis have estate administration dispute, of all the people. Let your kids build their own investment - provide them with good education, formation and moral standing. But let them chart their own course/destiny. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

If anything, the first people who would suffer loss of investments are those who who own real estates and other businesses. As somebody said earlier, live now and let the others take care of themselves. For children, give them quality education environment, they'll enjoy making their own money. Trust in God and endure patiently.

If anything, the first people who would suffer loss of investments are those who who own real estates and other businesses. As somebody said earlier, live now and let the others take care of themselves. For children, give them quality education environment, they'll enjoy making their own money. That fear of political turmoil, that government won't make the revenues to repay is what all adds up to the yield. Those fears is the 12% interest rate. If things are so upbeat then bonds should yield you 7.5% over 20 years.
