Plans are in the offing to raise the daily mobile money transaction ceiling from the current Sh140,000 to accommodate higher purchases for a government bond exclusively sold via mobile phones.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich said the move is aimed at allowing those with a higher ability to buy the mobile phone-based bond, called M-Akiba, as the daily limitation may lock them out of the new investment.
