The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) rejected Sh20.4 billion offered by investors in the two reopened September bonds as it sought to keep a lid on the government’s borrowing costs in a highly liquid market.

The State’s fiscal agent accepted Sh47.7 billion out of the Sh68.1 billion offered by investors, some of whom are looking to reinvest funds received from maturities and coupon payments worth Sh172.9 billion last month.
