Thursday, March 20, 2025 - Some of the units under the Government’s housing initiative in Pangani are already in a dilapidated state, raising serious concerns about construction standards.
Photos circulating online expose leaking pipes, faulty plumbing, and poor drainage systems, making
the apartments nearly unlivable.
Shockingly, despite the urgent demand for housing in
Nairobi, over 90% of these units remain
unoccupied years after completion.
This revelation comes at a time when President William Ruto is aggressively championing the Affordable Housing
agenda, which is partly funded by the highly debated Affordable Housing Levy.
The levy deducts 1.5%
from employees' gross salaries, matched by an equal contribution from
employers, to finance the initiative.
With such glaring failures from past projects, many Kenyans
are now questioning whether the new Affordable Housing plan will deliver on its
promises - or if it will become yet another costly disappointment.
