Money Market Funds and SACCOs, with average returns of 10–12%, take about 6–8 years. Bonds, offering 15–17%, take 4–5 years. Real estate and fixed deposits, yielding 6–8%, take 9–12 years. Higher returns mean faster growth, but each option has its pros and cons depending on your goals. We’ve written about all these investmen t vehicles in detail, and more personal finance content.

State agencies and parastatals can no longer make competitive bids on government securities—they’ll now accept whatever rate CBK offers. With Ksh360 billion in guaranteed bids from these institutions, CBK won’t need to offer high returns to attract investors, potentially lowering rates for everyone else. This could affect individual investors and institutions, including MMFs and SACCOs, which rely on government securities. We’ve covered this and more news that affect your money.

Unlike previous years when stores were packed, low turnout is mainly because schools reopened before payday and the cost of living has risen sharply. To better manage future education costs, parents can take early steps such as buying education insurance, investing in a money market fund, joining a SACCO, or investing in appreciating assets like land. Planning ahead can ease financial pressure.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟓 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 Land scams in Kenya are widespread and often target both buyers and sellers. Common ones include the allotment letter scam, where land is sold without a valid title deed, and double selling, where the same land is fraudulently sold to multiple buyers. There’s also the expired lease scam, where officials secretly reclaim valuable leasehold land and resell it without the owner’s knowledge. Buyers are urged to conduct official land searches and work with legal experts to avoid falling victim. Other scams involve fake land titles, selling government or public land like markets and reserves, and fake developers who target landowners with false investment promises. These developers often pose as agents for big companies, demanding bribes or "facilitation" fees. To stay safe, avoid unofficial transactions, monitor lease expirations, and ensure all dealings are traceable and within legal frameworks.
