President William Ruto has urged Kenyans not to allow anyone to derail their home ownership dreams. He said Kenyans can now contribute voluntarily to own decent homes, thanks to the affordable housing programme, a policy of the government. "We will deliver thousands of housing units in various sites under the Nyandarua Affordable Housing Programme and create jobs for thousands of our youth in the county," President Ruto said. He said a minimum deposit of Sh80,000 will be required from boda boda and mama mboga traders to own such houses. "If boda boda and mama mboga save Sh150 every day, they will raise the deposit required in 18 months.
