President William Ruto on Thursday, November 21, announced the completion of 4,888 affordable housing units under the government’s Affordable Housing Program.
Speaking during his State of the Nation Address in Parliament, the President revealed plans to commence the sale of the completed housing units, which cater to various income levels.
He noted that the houses include studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units.
“Today marks a significant milestone in our journey towards providing decent and affordable housing for all. After two years of dedication, I am proud to announce the launch of the sale of 4,888 housing units across 21 social housing projects.
These units include 1,041 social housing units, 2,133 affordable housing units, and 1,714 affordable middle-class units in 24 counties,” Ruto stated.
The President emphasized that the program is designed to benefit all Kenyans, from low-income earners to the middle class. He encouraged every eligible citizen above 18 years to participate in the initiative.
“I invite every Kenyan citizen above the age of 18 to join this historic journey towards homeownership. Guided by the principle of fairness—one ID, one house—I urge eligible Kenyans to visit these developments, view the show houses, and engage with our on-site staff, who are ready to assist,” he remarked.
Ruto also assured the public of a fair and transparent allocation process, ensuring equal opportunities for all qualified applicants.
“The allocation process will be transparent and equitable, ensuring that every qualified applicant has an equal opportunity to own a home,” he added.
