The Telposta Pension Scheme has little cash holdings and has invested 83 percent of its assets in properties, reducing its liquidity and diversification while breaching asset allocation rules by the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA).
It has also spent Sh532.3 million in legal costs to enforce rent payment and ward off grabbers, underlining the burden of overinvestment in real estate.
