President William Ruto says Mukuru kwa Njenga residents will be prioritised once the affordable housing project in the area is completed.

When completed, the project is set to offer relief to approximately 110,000 households living in the Mukuru kwa Njenga slum by providing decent shelters.

Speaking while presiding over the groundbreaking housing project on Monday, Ruto said the government was committed to ensuring Kenyans become homeowners through the mortgage plan.
