The construction of 605 houses in Nakuru, under the ambitious Affordable Housing Project has been launched.
The Principal Secretary (PS) for Housing and Urban Development, Mr Charles Hinga, said the prices of the houses will range between Sh1.5 million and Sh4 million, while initial owners will not be allowed to sell their units before the lapse of 8 years to avoid price speculation.
Mr Hinga who was accompanied by Governor Lee Kinyanjui, said the low-cost affordable housing units shall be met through budgetary allocation, partnerships between financial institutions, private developers, cooperatives and manufacturers of building materials.
The project which is expected to be completed within 18 months and made up of 1-bedroom, 2-bedrooms and 3-bedrooms apartment units is a partnership between the County Government, the State Department for Housing and Urban Development and the private sector developer, Kings Pride Properties.
He advised Kenyans to register on the www.bomayangu.go.ke portal and begin making contributions through the platform and select their housing preference from the available or upcoming housing stock.
