The Treasury has published draft rules to guide the raising of capital from anyone through online investment portals or crowdfunding to curb the loss of investor cash through unregulated investment products.

The new rules propose strict conditions for collecting small amounts of capital from a large number of individuals to finance a business venture including setting a minimum capital of Sh10 million.
