Speaking at a church service in Nairobi's Langata area, the head of state said that the affordable housing project that is currently being rolled out will face out the slums to give Kenyans a modest living.
Ruto further stated that the huge number of Kenyans still living in slums should be a huge concern to the country, calling on those opposed to the housing project to appreciate its long term objectives.President Ruto has recently been launching affordable housing projects across the country in what he says is anchored on availing decent housing to Kenyans living in those informal settlements.
The Programme targets the over 6.5 million Kenyans living in slums and informal settlements and is undertaken in partnership between the national and county governments. But the problem is that we do not have houses that ordinary people can buy. The houses that are being built are highly priced," President Ruto had earlier stated.
