Will they build houses and then rent them so that GOK becomes a landlord?
Will they build houses and sell them?
Will they develop land, as in roads, water, power sewage and then sell plots for people to build houses?
Have the plots of land on which this affordable housing will be constructed been identified?
How affordable are the houses going to be? What price does the GOK hope to provide the houses?
I just got concerned because right now the average mortgage in Kenya is for Ksh. 150,000 per month for 20 years.
We were told ground breaking will be in May 2018. We are now in August approaching September but not even the construction of a shiny plaque(for mtukufu rais) in the proposed sites has been done. Meanwhile, it has been all kizungu mingi na catwalk by the technocrats responsible for making affordable housing possible.Kenyans are damned. In some countries the government just calls mu-shina and tell them to build complete new cities alafu kesi baadaye...hata kama title deed ya KPA bandari ama JKIA itatumiwa kama collateral pia ni sawa
see LINKHuko sio tafadhali...sijui pris...sijui mnataka nifanye nini? Wananchi and future generations are suffering and exploited by some landlords from certain ethnicities. Nyumba ni giza, plus hakuna maji, plus hakuna owanja ya watoto...sio boda boda zooming by, sio wines and spirits na umalaya..sio sewage...yawa! The problem of housing in Kenya is even threatening our heritage. Huko stoney Athi and the larger Kajiado wildlife habitats are getting lost by the minute due to our greed for blotis where we intend to build ugly flats like those found in Ruaka, pipeline, mathare north,githurai, mwiki and other slums
The same zeal we built SGR and rendered akina Joho jobless huko Mombasa should be applied in housing and bring sense to some people that if you want to build rentals, build houses that you and your family can live in without msongamano. Kanjo and county government should be cleaned up and get rid of the incompetent planning and urbanization officers who got jobs through nepotism and employ young graduates scatterd all over the nation
