Treasury bills are short-term Government debt securities with maturity of a period less than one year. They are the most well-known of all Government securities.

Treasury bills are designated by the number of days to their maturity. Investing in bonds is like giving loans to the government at an interest.

In Kenya the government had offered this form investment sometimes this year though it did not attract a lot of people.
