The Government has started receiving applications for the development of cheap houses, a day after teachers joined the list of those disgruntled by the affordable housing project (AHP).

State Department for Housing and Urban Development (SDHUD) yesterday invited strategic partners with expertise in the construction of cheap houses, injecting life into President Uhuru Kenyatta’s ambition to build half a million houses in four years.
