What the above means is that GoK plans to build only 200,000 slum upgrading houses in Kibera, Mathare and any house you build privately in Syokimau, Kitengela or built by Erdeman or Suraya GoK will claim it in it's 5 year achievement. @kawi, Very true. 200,000 housing for GOK is a drop in the ocean. The housing problem can easily be addressed if both the central government and county governments addressed the infrastructural issues that hinder housing development. If new housing areas were opened up by providing infrastructure such as power, roads, water, sewer systems etc in designated areas, people would move in and even develop own structures. Kajiado and Machakos Counties alone cah house the whole of nbi but the infrastructure in non existent. Houses done on PPPS will not be affordable to the majority. Those buying expensive houses can still afford to build on their own. The rest have no means to buy, but if facilitated, they can own houses too. That is the sad reality.. Even most of the so called middle class cannot afford to build their own homes Building houses for people who are being retrenched as firms/industries downsize and other shutting down Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle
