The Insolvency Act allows the insolvent to retain some property like household furniture, personal effects and a car whose value is below Ksh1 Million.<\/p>\n<p>A civil servant who is declared bankrupt, gets their money paid directly to the trustee who gives them 25 per cent for sustenance while the rest goes towards settling debts.<\/p>\n<p>However, after three years, all the debts are forgivable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
