The bond sales received investor bids totalling Ksh.17 billion with the CBK accepting the entire amounts offered.
Investors accepted returns of 13.49 per cent for the new 10-year paper on offer and 13.976 per cent for the re-opened 25-year issue.
Initially, the government sought to raise Kshs 60.0 billion for budgetary support, and received bids worth Kshs 43.1 billion and accepted bids worth Kshs 31.7 billion, translating to a 73.6 per cent acceptance rate.
