Affordable Housing Drive in Kenya: Opportunity or Oversight?
Kenya’s Affordable Housing Program (AHP)continues to make headlines, with President William Ruto recently handing over 1,080 housing units in Mukuru, Nairobi. This milestone marks a significant step in the government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), which seeks to provide dignified housing for low-income earners. However, the project has faced both praise and criticism, raising important questions about its long-term social and economic impact.
