Kenya will sell five-year and 10-year Treasury bonds worth a total 30 billion shillings (289 million dollars) this month, the central bank said on Friday.

The bank said in a statement it would receive bids for the bonds between Aug. 7 and Aug. 22 and auction the two bonds on Aug. 23.

The five-year bond will have a market-determined coupon, while the reopened 10-year bond has a 12.966 per cent coupon, the central bank said.
