More importantly, the CSD provides a new and easy way to invest in Government securities and will therefore be beneficial to the Diaspora. The Kenyans abroad will be able to register CSD accounts online, from wherever they are, thereby mitigating the current inconvenience of having to come physically to the Central Bank.
They will also be able to invest in Government of Kenya securities online. Additional investment channels in government securities, including diaspora bonds, are also being considered. I want to conclude with a poignant text from the little book "Sea Prayer" by Khaled Hosseini.
