I've been following this m-akiba episode and frankly, i wonder why the gov wont spend such energies in improving business climate and incentivizing enterpreneurs to go global so they can reap from higher tax revenue, which could reduce the need for such ridiculous "harambee" drives ...

Minimum amount for investment Ksh 3000...target locked in= Wanjiku. One thing I have learned is to avoid investments tailored for Wanjiku...even in the NSE, the smart money makes the kill and Wanjiku goes home crying foul...almost always. Whenever I hear such investments meant for Wanjiku, I ignore and discourage anyone I know from investing. The best deals are hard to spot, and require effort to discover...there is no free lunch in financial markets.


Very true. why target the most uninformed lot in the fragment

Wise words; reminds one of the Safaricom debacle. Common investors need a salutory protector.

The deal was postponed. There are only two possible outcomes of this move.
1) Government officials realized that the interest rate was too high and will wait until interest rates go down. This outcome is highly unlikely.
2) "Who is who" were furious that they were locked out of such a lucrative deal (20%+). This deal will come back, repackaged, to only accommodate the big fish. The big fish realized there was no need to give Wanjiku free money. If this deal comes back, it will only be available to high networth investors and not Wanjiku. Wanjiku is designed to lose money.
A successful man is not he who gets the best, it is he who makes the best from what he gets.

Was trying the M-Akiba no and was saying to follow voice prompts, can that be done on roaming? Hoping for a fully automated menu

This issue ought to succeed. These discreet ICT driven products have given, and at the risk of sounding sexist, an avenue for women to save their money in this patriarchal society.

If a study was done of the Unclaimed Fin. Assets, I bet the bulk would be women! Let's see how it goes.

Na huyu Wanjiku ni nani?

The craze about M-Akiba is at the least annoying. Veteran Wazuans like Cde Monomotapa should be the lasts ones to support it.
This type of Interest rate instruments are the ones that require huge money investment. Assume an investment of 3K @ 22% p/a the return is equal to KES165 for a three month T-Bill. Surely Wanjiku is better placed to invest that money in the Mahindi Choma type of business, in 3 months time she will probably have grown it seven fold. But to lie to her that she now has a chance to invest in Gvt Tbills...SMH Wanjiku has been taken for granted.

I was against @wanjiku investion even KES. 100,000 in T Bills/Bonds...its meager...she better use that money selling mboga in the estates.

Well, this is a legit product where surplus can be held that is neither a HYIP nor Ponzi. How many have been suckered? Even so called sophisticated investors?

The rate is variable definitely, an 'introductory offer' it can be said. Solves cries of banks offering too low returns on savings.

For those reasons I say let it run. Market and sell it!

Any T-Bills/Bonds auctions in progress?
