President William Ruto has said the Affordable Housing Programme is creating jobs at scale, with employment linked to the initiative now estimated at 1.1 million, as his administration pursues a target of constructing two million homes.
Speaking during the fourth day of his North Rift development tour in Chepkorio, Keiyo South Constituency, Elgeyo Marakwet County, the President said the programme was expected to generate wider economic and settlement benefits beyond providing homes.
“Our target is to build two million houses, 200,000 annually. We are on course, with 300,000 units already under construction across the country,” Ruto said.
