Iam pleased to present the Authority’s Annual Report forthe year ended June 30, 2005.

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

Over the past two years, Kenya’s economy has undergonea dramatic transformation and is well positioned for strongand sustainable growth. The economic and structuralreforms implemented by the NARC Government have seenthe real GDP recording an impressive 4.3% in 2004compared with 2.8% in 2003 and 0.4% in 2002. Therobust performance was driven mainly by steady growth inkey sectors including tourism (15.1%), transport andcommunication (9.7%), trade (9.5%), manufacturing(4.1%) and construction (3.5%). This is a remarkableachievement against a background of unfavourableweather conditions and high oil prices that negativelyimpacted sectors such as the agricultural sector whichrecorded a rate of only 1.4%, down from 2.6% in 2003.

The period January to June in 2004 was characterized bylow interest rate regime, with the 91-day Treasury bill rateranging between 1.6% and 2.01%, this occasioned asignificant expansion in private sector credit that partlycontributed to economic growth. However, the interestrates increased from a low of 1.71% in July to a high of8.04% in December 2004, before stabilising over the nextsix months of 2005 at between 8.25% in January and8.50% in June. The low and stable interest rate regime iskey to both achieving and sustaining meaningful economicgrowth.

The improved macroeconomic environment is afundamental pre-requisite in the development of the

capital markets. Looking ahead, economic recovery isexpected to remain on track and GDP growth in 2005 isforecast to accelerate to 5%. Regional cooperationinitiatives such as the conclusion of the East AfricanCommunity Common External Tariff (CET), the signing ofthe peace agreement in southern Sudan and the electionof a new government in Somalia are expected to furtherenhance business growth in the region.

ROLE OF CAPITAL MARKETS IN THE ECONOMY

The development of a vibrant capital market remains afundamental component of the country’s socio-economicdevelopment goals. The key role of the capital markets isto provide long-term resources for productive investment toaccelerate growth and alleviate poverty.

The capital markets enhance mobilization of substantialcapital resources over a long time horizon, with emphasison capital formation over consumerism. If their fullpotential is realized, the capital markets would be a sourceof equity capital for infrastructure development such asroads, water and sewer systems, housing, energy,telecommunications and public transport. Suchinfrastructure development creates great socio-economicbenefit thereby assisting the Government in its efforts toclose the resource gap and in financing essential socio-economic development.

The capital markets also serve as an important gateway toKenya for global investors and foreign direct investments(FDI).

Further, the capital markets provide avenues for investmentopportunities thereby encouraging a thrift culture andincreasing domestic savings and investment ratios essentialfor rapid industrialization. They encourage broaderownership of productive assets by small savers to enablethem benefit from Kenya’s economic growth and wealthdistribution. Equitable distribution of wealth is a keyindicator of poverty reduction.

CO-OPERATION

Bearing the primary responsibility for the development ofthe market, the Authority is cognizant on the expectationson it by Kenyans and is doing all within its power to rise tothe challenge. We are also very much awake to the factthat we cannot achieve the full potential of the marketalone. Consequently, we remain committed to workingclosely with all stakeholders.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT (Cont’d)

More so, in the wake of increased globalization of marketsand the concomitant challenges associated with cross-border activity, we are equally committed to improving co-operation both at the regional and global level to ensureeffective regulation. At the international level, the Authorityremains an active member of International Organization ofSecurities Commissions (IOSCO), whilst on the regionalfront we remain focused and committed to pursuinginitiatives geared towards the integration of the capitalmarkets in the East African region through the East AfricaSecurities and Regulatory Association (EASRA).

INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

A lot needs to be done by the industry players to developthe Kenyan capital markets. A simple comparison of theKenyan markets to the markets of other jurisdictions willreveal that the development of the Kenyan capital marketslags behind that of other emerging markets.

For instance, the market capitalization for the Kenyanmarket stood at US$5.6 billion as at the end of June 2005.The market capitalization for the South African marketstood at US$152.85 billion, the Egyptian market atUS$25.62 and the Nigerian market at US$15.91 billion.

This disparity can be reduced by more companies takingadvantage of the opportunities presented by the capitalmarkets by foremost, listing at the stock exchange. Forpurpose of comparison, there are 750 listed companies inEgypt, 414 in South Africa, 278 in Nigeria, while theKenyan market has only 50 listed companies.

I continue to encourage Kenyan entrepreneurs to takeadvantage of the opportunities presented by the capitalmarkets.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION

During the year, significant effort was expended inproviding a new strategic direction for the Authority andstrengthening its operational efficiency. Particular emphasiswas placed on human resource capacity and organizationstructures. This internal focus to strengthen ourinstitutional capacity is imperative for the Authority toachieve its objectives over the next period. As the Authorityis a knowledge driven institution, we will build on ourinstitutional capacity to ensure that our human resource,which is our key resource, is sufficiently enhanced andexploited to its full potential.

Following a review of the Authority’s corporate strategyduring the year, a strategic plan for the period 2005 –2010 was developed. As a result, a number of strategicobjectives were identified as critical to move the capitalmarkets to the next level of development. These objectivesform the pillar of our capital markets to contributemeaningfully not only to economic growth but also tosustain the ongoing economic recovery momentum.

i) Facilitating the development of capital marketproducts and services;

ii) Establishing a robust, facilitative legal andregulatory framework that conforms tointernational best practice;

iii) Strengthening the institutional capacity of theAuthority;

iv) Enhancing capital market infrastructure andinstitutional arrangement;

v) Strengthening professional and operationalcapacity of capital market institutions andintermediaries;

vi) Promoting sound corporate governance toenhance market integrity;

vii) Enhancing the policy environment; andviii) Promoting investor education and public

awareness

The Authority continues to pay particular attention to itsgovernance to raise its governance standards tointernational best practice.

It is the Chinese who say that a journey of a thousand milesbegins with a single step. We have begun a long journeywhose ultimate destination is a vibrant capital market inKenya. With faith in ourselves and sustained effort, we willget to our destination sooner than we think. I thank allstakeholders for their cooperation, my fellow members fortheir passion and commitment and particularly the staff fortheir extraordinary efforts. I look forward to anotherchallenging and productive year.

Professor Chege WaruingiCHAIRMAN

EVENTS & HIGHLIGHTSThis was a busy and exciting year for the capitalmarkets in Kenya. In the primary market, the yearsaw three bonus issues, three corporate bond issuesand eighteen Treasury bond issues. There wasincreased turnover in the secondary equity market.The turnover for the year ended 30th June 2005stood at Kshs 22.03 billion compared to Kshs 20.35billion for a similar period in the previous financialyear, an increase of 8%. There was an overall rise inthe price of most shares, with markets capitalizationclosing at Kshs 421 billion at the end of June 2005,compared to Kshs 274 billion as at the end of June2004, an increase of 53%. However, there was adecline in the secondary bond market with a Kshs14.03 billion turnover compared to Kshs48.13 billion in the previous year. Thismay be attributed to the low interest ratesprevailing in the market.

Investor education and awarenessremains a key priority for the Authority.Programmes have been developed thatare tailored to both increasing supply anddemand for securities. As part of thisinitiative, the Authority launched itsquarterly publication CMA Forum inMarch 2005. Through this publication,stakeholders continue to share their viewson a number of reforms to be considered

for implementation to boost the securities market.The Authority remains committed to working togetherwith other stakeholders to develop the capitalmarkets and to improve the lives of Kenyans.

COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT The Authority’s compliance and enforcementprogramme is aimed at reducing systemic risk andprotecting investors by ensuring that the market isfair, efficient and transparent.

During the year 2004/2005, the Authority, throughits market oversight mechanism for monitoringcompliance with specific requirements by bothlicenced market intermediaries and listedcompanies, ensured that they operated within thelegal framework governing their operations.

1. Market SurveillanceThe Authority undertakes market surveillance as acontinuous oversight monitoring exercise aimed atensuring safety and integrity of the market. Marketsurveillance enhances the level of intelligenceinformation on market operations, which acts as anearly warning system.

Automation of trading and settlement will furtherstrengthen the Authority’s risk managementmechanism. 2. Investigations

The 12 months to June 2005 experienced highturnover levels in the stock market, putting a lot ofpressure on market intermediaries. This scenario wasfurther compounded by the fact that only a smallportion of the listed securities had been immobilized.Similarly, there were complaints from investorsreported to the Authority, prompting investigations.

3. InspectionsMarket confidence goes with market perception ofthe existence of fairness, integrity and transparencyof transactions, a sound and credible clearing andsettlement system, qualified market intermediariesand strict law enforcement.

To ensure that there is strong institutional frameworkgeared towards reducing risk exposure in the market,the Authority carried out ninety two (92) inspectionsinvolving fifty (50) licensees, whichinspections were conducted in line withthe requirements of the Capital markets(Licensing Requirements)(General)Regulations, 2002, together with theprovisions of the Capital Markets Act.Regulatory concerns arising from thisexercise included failure to meet workingcapital requirements, capital adequacytests, failure to timely submit financialstatements and submission of incompleterecords. The licensees subsequentlyaddressed these anomalies in responseto regulatory oversight by the CMA.

The Authority revoked the licence ofProfessional Investment ConsultantsLimited following violation of thelicensing regulations.

In addition, two listed companies were inspectedfollowing various complaints from shareholdersregarding the companies’ operations. The issuesraised have since been addressed.

4. Listed CompaniesIt is encouraging to note that reporting standards ofmost listed companies have improved significantly.

A good number of companies have adoptedquarterly reporting. On secondary market activities,sensitive price information was released to the publicpromptly.

Corporate GovernanceGood corporate governance remains crucial tosustainable economic development and wealthcreation and is an important pillar underpinningefficient capital markets. Good corporategovernance is fundamental to the way we runcorporations and essential to the continued successof capital markets. It is therefore a matter of greatinterest to regulators particularly of emergingmarkets.

a) Compliance by listed companies with key goodgovernance practices as at June 30 2005.

b) Besides having a balanced Board andappropriate composition, overburdeneddirectors and chairmen of listed companiescan impact negatively on performance. Thetable below shows representation of individualdirectors/ chairmen on the Boards of listedcompanies;

Promotion of excellence in Financial ReportingThe Authority, jointly with ICPAK and the NairobiStock Exchange, co-sponsors the Financial ReportingExcellence (FiRE) awards aimed at recognizing andencouraging both private and public companies toprepare financial statements in full compliance withInternational Financial Reporting Standards, theCompanies Act, good corporate governancepractices and social responsibility accounting.Through effective reporting and disclosures, theAuthority seeks to encourage good governancepractices in private companies as a step towardspreparing them to go public.

LICENCES AND APPROVALSLicencesThe Authority reviewed 65 licences for eleven (11)Investment Banks; ten (10) Stockbrokers; fourteen(14) Fund Managers; fourteen (14) InvestmentAdvisers and six (6) Authorized Depositories.

Francis Drummond and Company Limited and FirstAfrica East Africa Limited upgraded their licensesfrom stockbroker and investment adviser respectively,to investment banks. Cooperative bank of Kenya waslicensed as an authorized depository.

Suspended licensees During the year, the Authority reviewed thesuspension of Sterling Securities Limited andreinstated its licence. It is now operating. Similarly,the suspension of Town and Country SecuritiesLimited was lifted and it is now in the process ofcomplying with the licensing requirements. Thelicences of Bob Matthews Stockbrokers Limited andShah Munge and Partners remained suspendedduring the year.

Collective Investment SchemesCollective investment schemes (CIS) are nowemerging as critical vehicles for mobilizing pools offunds to be invested in financial markets. As theyprovide an opportunity to the general public forexpert investment at relatively low cost and theopportunity to maximize on economies of scale.During the year the Authority approved threeumbrella CISs, bringing the total number to fiveinstitutions. These are Old Mutual Stanbic Unit TrustFunds, Old Mutual CBA Unit Trust Funds and British-American Unit Trust Funds.

Takeover exceptions and private transfersDuring the year the Authority exempted one takeoverfrom the Takeover regulations. Numerousapplications for transfers of securities outside thesecurities exchange mostly in the settlement ofestates of deceased persons were processed.

MARKET DEVELOPMENTFiscal incentivesAs part of the measures aimed at boosting thegrowth of the capital market and encouragingcompanies to list on the stock exchange, theAuthority submits policy proposals every year to thegovernment for consideration. We are happy that theMinister for Finance in the budget speech for thefiscal year 2005/06 accepted our proposal to lowercorporation tax rate to 20%, from the standard rateof 30%. This incentive is to be enjoyed by newly listedcompanies for a period of five years on conditionthat they issue at least 40% of their share capital tothe public.

During the year the Authority also proposed to thegovernment to provide additional incentives toissuers of asset-backed securities. As a result, theMinister for Finance proposed to exempt investmentincome earned by a special purpose vehicle (SPV)from tax. The purpose of the SPV is to enableinstitutions providing infrastructure services to raiselong-term capital by way of securitization. This taxincentive is to go along way in encouraginginstitutions to establish SPVs to enable them accesslong-term funds for their development activities atcompetitive and cost effective rates.

Asset-backed securitiesIn the period under review, progress was made onthe legal framework to govern the issue and listing ofAsset Backed Securities. The need for a legalframework to facilitate licensing and regulation ofventure capital funds was also considered. Work onthis is expected to commence in the next financialyear. The Authority has considered the need for acomprehensive review of the legal and regulatoryframework to ensure that it is adequate andconsistent with the developments in the globalfinancial markets and this has been factored in the 5-year strategic plan.

Venture capital fundsVenture capital companies are emerging as criticalplayers in addressing the funding and technicalassistance needs of entrepreneurswho do not have the size, assets, andoperating histories necessary toobtain capital from more traditionalsources, such as the capital marketsand banks.

Over The Counter (OTC) market As part of capital marketsinfrastructure development, theAuthority is considering theintroduction of an OTC market. TheOTC market is meant to provideclosely held companies anopportunity to benefit from liquidityand price discovery.

Regional integrationDuring the year under review, two of Kenya’s listedcompanies, Kenya Airways and East AfricanBreweries listed on the Dar es Salaam SecuritiesExchange (Tanzania). This marked the completion ofthe two companies’ listing on the exchanges of thethree East African countries. This initiative now allowsthe citizens of the three-partner states (Kenya,Uganda and Tanzania) easier access to the shares ofthe companies. This process has also positioned thetwo companies as truly East African corporations.The Authority encourages companies listed inTanzania and Uganda to list on Kenya’s stockexchange.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT The rationalization exercise that the Authorityinitiated in November 2003 to boost its professionalcapacity complement was completed during the year.The staff approved is 46. The Authority organized forprofessional counseling for all staff. The 15 membersof staff out of 32 who were retrenched were offereda safety net payout together with their pensionbenefits.

Following this restructuring the Authority engaged ahuman resources consultant to recruit officers forvacant positions, an exercise that was alsoconcluded during the year.

The Authority continued to expose its staff to both short and medium courses to enhance their skills. Professionalstaff were facilitated to pursue post-graduate courses and short–term courses at the local, regional andinternational levels.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCEThe Authority’s financial statements are presented in detail in the audited accounts for the financial year ended30 June 2005.

Overall, the Authority’s financial position continued to strengthen. A surplus of income over expenditure byKshs.29.0 million was realised for the year. The balance sheet shows a strong liquid asset base, (80% of totalassets), due to the fact that surplus funds are invested short-term in government securities.

Total income for the year was Kshs.139 million, a decrease of 3% over the previous year, (Kshs.143.7 million).The decrease is mostly on account of lower issuance of government bonds over the year. The Government’ssubvention was wholly removed beginning this year (2004: Kshs.10m).

Total expenditure at Kshs.109.6 million is just a little higher than previous year by 1.7%. Staff costs accountedfor 60% of total expenditure up from 51.8% recorded the previous year; this was occasioned by the restructuringexercise.

TECHNOLOGYAchieving a fully automated trading infrastructureremains one of the Authority’s priorities aimed atenhancing efficiency and reduction of systemic risk intrading and settlement operations. Following theoperationalization of the Central Depository System(CDS) in November 2004, the market is nowexperiencing increased efficiency as evidenced byincreased trading activity at the Nairobi Stock

Exchange. To enhance this efficiency, the Authorityhas turned its attention to the implementation ofautomated trading system (ATS). We believe that theimplementation of both CDS and ATS wouldtransform our capital market to globally acceptedfinancial market standards and competitivelyposition it as a robust, safe and preferred investmentdestination. This will increase the fund raisingcapacity of our market

good corporate governance among marketinstitutions, intermediaries and listed companies andenhancing public awareness of the capital markets.In recognition of the fact that there are limitedproducts in the Kenyan capital markets, the Authorityshall continue to support all initiatives aimed atincreasing the number of existing products andservices and the development of new products.

1. PRIMARY MARKET

1.1. Equity

There was little activity in the primary equitymarkets in the period under review. East AfricanBreweries undertook a share split of five sharesfor every one held adding an additional 527.18million new shares.

The absence of new listings continues to be ofgreat concern. The Authority has undertaken astudy on the lack of new listings, which hasyielded recommendations on the basis of which wewill be initiating measures to revitalize the market.The Authority continues to add its efforts to theprivatization programme, which is expected tosignificantly rejuvenate the market.

Three bonus issues were approved during thefinancial year, resulting in an additional 64.7 millionshares in the market compared to 153 million newshares supplied in 2004. There were a total of 38interim and final dividend announcements by variouscompanies listed at the NSE from which a total ofKshs.10.65 billion was paid out to shareholders inthe form of dividends, being an equivalent of 2% ofthe total market capitalization of the NSE, comparedto 44 announcements of Kshs.12.45 billion worth ofdividends in 2004. The total number of bonus issuesbetween 2000 and 2005 were 21 raising thenumber of new shares created through bonus and

rights issues during the last six years to 599 millionvalued at Kshs.5.67 billion.

1.2. Debt instruments

(a) Treasury bonds

The year 2005 saw the bond market graduallyimprove as interest rates increased. However, theuncertainty in interest rates that prevailed in Julythrough October 2004, forced cancellation of twoissues in September and October. The one-yearTreasury bond issues dominated the periodaccounting for about 40% of the total issues in value.As the interest rates improved on the 91-day Treasurybills to between 5% and 8% during the periodJanuary – June 2005, treasury bonds of tenors 3-5year were issued although some did not receive fullsubscription. This scenario reflected investors’

cautiousness on long-tenor issuesfollowing the erratic movement of interestrates during the year.

The yields on bond averaged between4% on one-year tenor issue to 12% onfour-year bonds. The number of newTreasury bonds issued also declined to18 valued at Kshs.68.45 billion in 2005compared with the 22 issues valued atKshs.82.56 billion in 2004.

(b) Corporate Bonds

The primary corporate bond market during the year2005 facilitated Faulu Kenya, a non – bank Microfinance institution and the Eastern and SouthernAfrican Trade and Development Bank, commonlyknown as the PTA Bank to raise long term capital tofinance their development projects. Faulu Kenyaraised Kshs.500 million by issuing a five yearcorporate bond that was 75% guaranteed by AgenceFrancaise de Development (AFD). This was a majordeparture from the other corporate bond issuers asFaulu Kenya is a micro-finance institution targetingthe rural areas of the country where access tofinancial services is limited. The PTA issue of seven-

years raised Kshs.800 million to finance itsinvestments and financing activities in Kenya invarious sectors of the economy, including tourism,construction, agriculture and mining. Equally, theEast African Development Bank (EADB) a pioneer inthe corporate bond market in Kenya raised Kshs.800million during the year. Borrowing through issuanceof corporate bonds is emerging as a cost effectivemethod compared to accessing similar fundsthrough the money markets. As interest rates tend tostabilize there is increased enthusiasm among thepotential issuers and a number showed strongindications to issue corporate bonds in the comingfinancial year of the Authority.

Subscription to CP notes continues to be the domain of institutionalinvestors mainly as a result of the placement process that targets institutional investors and where applicable fewhigh net worth individual investors.

2. SECONDARY MARKET

2.1. Secondary Equity Market

A bullish run driven by a robust expansion of theeconomy resulted in one of the most buoyantperformance in the history of the Kenyan stockmarket. Other than the NSE 20 Share Index, whichfell short of the highest figure ever recorded on thebourse’s history in 1994 of 5000-plus, the rest of thecapital market parameters attained historical highs,the most spectacular being market capitalizationwhich rose by more than Kshs. 140 billion to Kshs.421 billion. The year ironically started on low tradinglevels with an average monthly turnover of Kshs. 1.6billion during the first six months, rising graduallyduring the third quarter and substantially in the finalquarter to the highest average turnover everwitnessed at the NSE of about Kshs. 2.5 billion permonth. The highest turnover ever recorded in themarket in a month was experienced in June 2005, ofKshs. 3.82 billion.

The enhanced corporate earnings necessitated byimproved economic performance saw the year 2005perform slightly better than the previous year both interms of share volume and turnover. The finalquarter’s exemplary performance was largelyinfluenced by enhanced efficiency occasioned by thesuccessful implementation of the Central Depositoryand Settlement System (CDS). Improved rate ofimmobilization of share certificates allowed moreinvestors to trade after opening accounts with theCDS. Institutional investors, especially pension funds

and commercial banks continued to dominatedemand for equities, even as the market turnoverratio’s averaged 5%, inferring that the market wasstill largely illiquid with only a slice of investors’portfolio being traded during the year.

The NSE Index gained 1332 points representing agrowth of 50% to move to a high of 3972 points inJune 2005 from a low of 2640 points recorded inJune 2004. The overall rise in the prices of moststocks and an additional supply of shares promptedby three bonus issues and one share split pushedmarket capitalization to Kshs. 421 billion at the endof June 2005, a significant leap equivalent to 53%growth over Kshs. 274 billion in 2004. The upwardmovement in both market capitalization and the NSE20 Share Index remained steady during the first andsecond halves of the financial year with slightdeclines recorded in the month of March 2005,mostly as investors were keenly evaluating corporateearnings announcements against their expectations.

Share volume and turnover in the first half of the yearwas relatively low equally as a result of a temporarycalm on the bullish trend necessitated by profittakings during the period ending March 2005. Theimplementation of the CDS that commenced inNovember 2004 slowed the transaction volume aswell, largely due to lack of awareness. The situationimproved in the second half of the year andparticularly during the last quarter, driven by theimprovement in the rate of opening of CDSaccounts.

Share volume rose by 10% to 580 million comparedto the previous year’s level of 526 million, whileturnover rose to a new historical high of Kshs 22.03billion, reflecting a growth of 8% from the previousperiod’s figure of Kshs 20.35 billion.

However, besides having few listed companies at theNSE, a number of them have offered just theminimum to the public and this significantly limits thevolume of transaction. It therefore calls forappropriate policy intervention to encourage thesecompanies to increase their free float.

The outlook for the equities market remains verybright for the coming year as CDS benefits trickle-ingradually, coupled with continued pursuit ofeconomic reforms. There are also strong indicationsthat some companies will list at the stock exchange,which will increase supply and bring about pricemovements based on fundamentals as opposed tobeing driven by skewed supply of securities, againstan ever increasing demand that is emergingfollowing increased awareness among other factors.

The equities turnover has been increasing steadilyand at close of June 2005, it surpassed the bondturnover. The bond turnover experienced a steepdecline as a result of depressed demand followingthe issuance of new bonds in the year offering higheryields.

The sectoral ranking performance was also similar inthe equities turnover and volume traded as theIndustrial and Allied sector dominated bycontributing an equivalent of 58% and 66%respectively. The finance sector was second, whilethe agricultural sector was the last with a share sizeof 3%. The un-proportional sectoral distribution oflisted companies will continue influencing thisranking in the coming years as the industrial sectorcurrently has an equivalent of 35% of the totalnumber of listed companies; finance sector with25%; commercial with 23% and agricultural sectorwith 17%. This is in spite of agricultural sectoraccounting for over 24% of the GDP.

2.2. Secondary Treasury bond Market

There was a significant decline in the secondarybonds market with Kshs.14.03 billion turnoverrecorded compared to Kshs.48.13 billion in 2004.This is attributed to mixed signals in the market,resulting in very low interest rates of less than 2%during the first half of the year followed by a rise to8% in January 2005 which sustained during thesecond half. The result of this was that already listedbonds were attracting lower yields as newly issuedshorter dated Government paper paid higherreturns; hence investors in the secondary marketwere locked in with their less attractive bonds.

Similarly, the cancellation of two government zero-coupon bonds during the year led to greateruncertainty over the future of bonds resulting in ashift to the equities market.

The outlook for secondary bond market is set toimprove as the interest rates stabilize, equally theincreasing corporate issues would result in moreliquidity.

There has been a steady increase in the secondarybond market activity, driven mainly by the increasedbond issues particularly the treasury bonds,notwithstanding the declining interest rates. However,there was a sharp drop in 2005 occasioned by

increasing interest rates in the primary auction. Themain challenge for the government is to extend thematurity profile further, so that the securities areappropriately priced based on a market based yieldcurve.

15 RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

The Authority operates an in-house defined benefits pension scheme for its employees. Theinvestment of the scheme’s assets is managed by an independent fund manager, Genesis KenyaInvestment Management Limited, on behalf of the Trustees.

The scheme is subjected to triennial valuations by independent actuaries to fulfil the statutoryrequirements under the Income Tax (Retirement Benefits) Rules 1994 and the Retirement BenefitsRules 2000. The latest actuarial valuation was carried out as at 1 July 2004. The actuarialvaluation method adopted, ‘Attained Age Method’, entailed the comparison of the scheme’s assetsat the valuation date with its liabilities and an assessment of the ability of the scheme to meet itsobligations to members.

The principal actuarial assumptions applied in the valuation are:

• Investment returns 10% per annum• Rates of salary escalation 8% per annum• Rate of pension increases 3% per annum

Based on the actuarial report, the Actuaries estimate that the present value of past service actuarialliabilities amounted to Sh. 38,506,000 at 1 July 2004, and that the value of scheme’s assetsexceeded the liabilities by Sh. 275,000 at that date.

The Authority’s contributions to this scheme for the year to 30 June 2005 amounted to Sh.3,212,725(2004 – Sh. 2,952,772).

The Authority also contributes to the statutory defined contribution pension scheme, the NationalSocial Security Fund. Contributions to the statutory scheme are determined by local statute and arecurrently limited to Sh 200 per employee per month. Contributions to this scheme during the yearamounted to Sh. 74,400 (2004 – Sh. 85,600).
