Nakuru County to benefit from 10,000 units of Affordable Housing

Nakuru County will benefit from 10,000 units of Affordable Housing Project by National Government.

This was as revealed on Sunday as Nakuru County Deputy Governor David Kones and  County Commissioner  Loyford Kibaara led Mashujaa Day celebrations at Keringet Estate Comprehensive Primary School in Keringet Ward.

Under this year’s theme “Affordable Housing” Deputy Governor Kones who represented Governor Susan Kihika at the event, highlighted the county’s commitment to providing affordable housing for its residents.

He revealed that in line with the national government’s affordable housing agenda, Nakuru County will benefit with 10,000 housing units with 605 units in the Bondeni Affordable Housing Project, already completed and handed over to new owners.

Additional phases are underway in Bahati and Molo (Elburgon), with plans to build 2,000 units in Naivasha and 3,000 units in Nakuru City.

This initiative aims to expand access to quality, affordable housing for low-income residents.

Beyond the housing units, the project has also stimulated the local construction industry, particularly the Jua Kali sector, consequently leading to increased employment opportunities for youth and the development of a more competitive construction market.
