President William Ruto has announced a new initiative that will allow Kenyans working abroad to invest back home and earn income through the upcoming Diaspora Bond.
Speaking to Kenyans living in Qatar on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, he said the government is in the final stages of preparing the bond, which aims to help the diaspora participate more actively in Kenya’s economic development.
“This initiative is aimed at allowing Kenyans working outside the country to contribute to national growth while also benefiting financially,” President Ruto said.
Adding;
“We want to see how we can support you, Kenyans working in Qatar, to invest back home and help you structure that investment. We are in the final stages of the Diaspora Bond, on how Kenyans in the diaspora can support Kenya with a Diaspora Bond and also get an investment income.”
According to Ruto, the Diaspora Bond is part of the commitments made during last year’s Diaspora Conference in Kenya. The program is intended to give Kenyans abroad a secure and structured way to invest in national projects while earning returns.
“The government’s goal is to ensure that Kenyans working abroad have more opportunities not only to send money home but also to grow their wealth through structured investments,” he added.
The bond will offer a safe and transparent platform for diaspora communities to channel funds into Kenya’s development projects.
Ruto also reassured Kenyans in Qatar that the government is improving services for citizens living abroad, including faster passport processing and stricter monitoring of recruitment agencies.
He encouraged Kenyans overseas to take advantage of the bond, noting that it will benefit them personally while also contributing to the country’s growth.
“It will not only benefit you personally but also help in building Kenya’s economy,” he said.
