M-Akiba (mobile t-bonds) to commence in March

Progress. Now anyone with 3k to save can invest in t-bonds and earn more interests than our banks are willing to give.

Money has run out to pay MPIGs.

It just the usual t-bonds but now you can use mpesa instead of the lengthy process where min amount is 50-100k. It win-win for gov and anyone with little money to spare.
