HOUSING THE NATION: How the government will build one million new houses

21st June, 2018

The Government is set to launch construction of 30,000 low cost houses in Nairobi's Eastlands area, as the ‘Big Four’ agenda takes shape. The low cost project targets to putting up 5,000 houses in Shauri Moyo, 20,000 houses in Makongeni, 3,000 houses in Starehe and 2,000 units in Park Road estates.

Construction of the Shauri Moyo, Makongeni and Starehe houses will kick off within six months while the breaking ground for the 2,000 units of affordable housing on Park Road will be within three months. Speaking today during a press briefing at State House, Nairobi, State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu, said the team leading the regeneration of Nairobi has given itself a timeline of six months to undertake the project. “We've already spoken to setting up of the Kenya Mortgage Refinance Company within the next month.

But what will define a changing Nairobi will be the breaking of ground for three flagship projects as part of the President's Big Four agenda,” said the State House Spokesperson. On health, Mr. Esipisu said the team has given itself a timeline of six months to improve Mbagathi and Mama Lucy hospitals by putting up accident and emergency facilities to reduce pressure on Kenyatta National Hospital.
