Nyong'o to build 10,000 cheap houses to tame deficitThe county government has announced plans to build low-cost houses to help ease housing shortage. Construction of the first phase of 3,000 units out of the targeted 10,000 houses will kick off in June, a senior department head said. Kisumu needs nearly 45,000 new units each year to address its housing deficit. “We want to put up mixed typology settlements with bedsitters and one- and two-bedroomed units spread upwards. Mixed typology means we are going to have a varying range of income earners living together,” said Mr Gome.
