Abandoned cash haul increases to Sh125bn in eight months

Kenya's unclaimed financial assets fund has grown by 8.41% (Sh10 billion) in eight months, reaching Sh125 billion. Latest disclosures by the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority (Ufaa) show that the value of abandoned wealth surged by Sh9.7 billion since December 2025. This trend reflects a growing issue of citizens losing track of their wealth as holding companies ramp up reporting compliance to avoid a 25% financial penalty.
