Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The government is set to launch 42, 000 new housing units by the end of December, Housing and Urban Development principal Secretary Charles Hinga has disclosed.<\/p>\n

This, Hinga said, is apart from the 56 other projects lined up across the country.<\/p>\n

Hinga said the new unit, to be unveiled by President William Ruto, are being implemented under the affordable housing programme (AHP).<\/p>\n

The new units, Hinga stated, are spread across the counties of Nairobi, Kiambu and Machakos.<\/p>\n

He said the lands where the houses will be put up have already been identified with other enabling facilities as water and electricity also having been availed.<\/p>\n

“We are ready to go and we are making it a reality,” he said at the KICC on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

About 30,000 units, he noted, are set to be put at Makongeni in Nairobi on the land owned by Kenya Railways.<\/p>\n

“On December 6, the President shall be doing groundbreaking for the construction of the houses in the area,” he remarked.<\/p>\n

Hinga was speaking during the launch of the second affordable housing conference in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

The three-day conference is being organised by the Kenya Mortgage Refinance Company (KMRC) and the ministry of housing and urban development.<\/p>\n

In Starehe, 2,420 units will be put up with the developer having been identified.<\/p>\n

“The developer is ready to commence works and we have asked people staying in the land to vacate quietly,” he said.<\/p>\n

Shauri Moyo B, he noted, will have 1,728 housing units while at Ruiru in Kiambu 1,200 units are to be put up.<\/p>\n

In Machakos, 25 acres of land has been set for construction of 5,360 units.<\/p>\n

Private developers have been sourced to fund the projects, he said.<\/p>\n
