Close to 110 units in the Gichugu Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) in Kirinyaga County have been completed. However, the houses remain unoccupied due to lack of electricity connection.
Aside from changing the image of the once sleepy Kianyaga market, the multi-million project created job opportunities, resulted in a rise in land prices and also caused establishment of more investments that are interlinked to the occupancy of the houses.
