My name is Eugene. My father will retire in December this year and move upcountry. He will get a lump sum pension of about Sh2.5 million. We're wondering how he can invest the money for a better stay in the village. During his working life, he has built a few rented houses that generate some income. He also does some farming. We have only one sibling in school, he is in class two. My father wants to buy a tractor for farming. He is also thinking of getting a power saw or investing in dairy farming with the money he will get from the lump sum. What is the best way to use this money so that he does not misuse it, get frustrated or go broke?
