Kenyans can now invest in government bonds and Treasury bills and pay for successful bids via M-PESA, with payments of up to Sh250,000.
This can only be done through the CBK DhowCSD app or portal.
Kenya Power says wind and solar power now account for 21% of the grid’s firm capacity, above its preferred 15% threshold.
The utility warns that the variability of wind and solar is putting more pressure on grid stability and power quality.
When I hit Sh 12M invested in competitive cash flow investments, I will be able to withdraw Sh 960K per year and never run out of money.
I will live on Sh 80K per month from an 8% annual return from the market, assuming a worst-case scenario.
At 8% annual return, figure out how much you need per year and multiply by 12.5. #retirementplanning

Many Kenyans don't know that they can invest in global companies like Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Netflix, etc
In this thread I answer the frequently asked questions about investing in offshore stocks & ETFs as a Kenyan.
1/ What's the minimum investment required?
NSE banking stocks — you don’t need to own all of them.
Here’s how to narrow it down:
a) KCB vs Equity — pick one. More alike than different; prices often move in tandem. Little incremental value owning both.
b) I&M vs Co-op — pick one. Both walk the same tightrope between growth and income distribution.
c) Stanchart vs Stanbic — pick one. Pure dividend plays. Choose whichever yield and balance sheet you trust more.
d) BK Group — genuinely distinct. Different risk/return profile from the rest of the NSE banking pack.
e) DTB & HFCK — the laggards. Low ROE, thin-to-no dividends. If you hold either, have a clear thesis why.
The goal isn’t coverage — it’s conviction. 3–4 names, high confidence, no filler.
Here are the top bank stock performances on the NSE so far in 2026 (YTD):
Stanbic — up 39%
Co-op — up 35%
DTB — up 32%
I&M — up 18%
ABSA — up 16%
Equity — up 14%
StanChart KE — up 12%
BK Group — up 10%
NCBA — up 5%
KCB — up 1%
HF Group — down 5%

If you are building a stock portfolio on the NGX do not put all your money in one sector. Spread it.
1. Telecoms — MTN Nigeria, Airtel Africa. Data consumption keeps growing every year. These are cash machines.
2. Banking — GTCO, Zenith Bank, Access Holdings, UBA. The backbone of the exchange. Strong dividends. Benefit from high interest rates.
3. Oil & Gas — Seplat, Aradel Holdings, Oando. Move with global crude prices. This sector is up over 120% this year alone.
4. Consumer Goods — Nestlé, BUA Foods, Nigerian Breweries, Cadbury. Products people buy regardless of what the economy is doing.
5. Industrial Goods — Dangote Cement, BUA Cement, Lafarge Africa. Construction and infrastructure drive these.
6. Agriculture — Okomu Oil Palm, Presco. Tied to commodity prices especially palm oil. Quietly consistent.
7. Insurance — AIICO, NEM Insurance. Lower entry prices but more volatile. Know your risk.
8. Healthcare — Fidson Healthcare, May & Baker, Neimeth. Small sector but growing as healthcare spending increases.
One bad quarter in one sector should never wipe out your whole portfolio. That is why diversification matters.
