@obiero, 1.7B was for FY15.

Integrated financial and property services provider HF Group today announced a 25 per cent growth in profitability for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Group’s profit before tax grew to Sh1.754 billion in the period compared to KShs 1.401 billion over a similar period in 2014.
Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.

Not too bad considering all the upheavals in the banking sector.

The NPLs haven't risen as much as other lenders and that's a huge plus for HFCK. Could that be thanks to what they finance i.e. houses/buildings? [You cannot steal a house. Of course, there's always the USIU-type saga where 3 people claim the same property!]

Just a question ... why would they issue a bond to investors and then invest cash heavily in GoK Securities????

Short term. When you receive a dividend you want to re-invest, do you run out and buy shares immediately or leave the funds in a current/savings account until you find something to buy?
Loans take time to make. Perhaps the Bond was to invest in a new housing project to be paid for over time or in stages.

@Instinct is right coz it takes ages to issue a bond in Kenya.
