As such, national and county governments are under a legal obligation to provide adequate housing to everyone within their jurisdiction. Forced evictions are a gross violation of human rights as per international law as they also usually target the most vulnerable members in a society. To secure and protect the right to adequate housing, as well as fulfill its international and national legal obligations, the government has developed various interventions aimed at providing access to adequate housing. The government also recently, through a review of the Employment Act had proposed establishment of a National Housing Development Fund. This is what we want to see from government towards adequate housing in Kenya.
