Monday's launch of a Sh20 billion housing project by President William Ruto in Ziwani is expected to be a game-changer in the government's plan to give those living in informal settlements decent housing.

The project is a partnership between the government and GulfCap Africa Limited and will comprise one, two and three-bedroom 6,704 units. The selling price for the units starts from Sh1.155 million.
