President William Ruto will on Friday preside over the ground-breaking of Shauri Moyo affordable housing project in Nairobi. The Sh10 billion project seeks to provide more than 3,000 housing units, in support of the Government’s agenda on the provision of affordable housing for Kenyans. In November last year, Ruto announced that 3,000 acres of Nairobi public land will be used for the affordable housing programme. The National Treasury allocated the affordable housing programme a budget of Sh27.2 billion in the current financial year. At the start of his second term, former President Uhuru Kenyatta announced the Big 4 Agenda, which included the construction of some 500,000 affordable housing units.
