​The following are sincere fears that the government should fully address before forcing Kenyans to pay housing levy. The housing levy, in other words, should not be used to benefit people who live in Nairobi alone. Secondly, as it is, the housing levy is not progressive in terms of contribution according to earner’s income, whichever way one may look at it. Low-income earners should not pay the same percentage of housing levy like higher income earners. With those few pieces of advice, I know the advisers of the President of Kenya will brief him about these as these are real fears on housing levy from real Kenyans.
