Bottom Up economics haikukuambia that those Kenyans live on less than 1 USD per day? (KES 130 )Mimi wacha nicheke tu.
I have watched some videos on tiktok recently people visiting the houses and just appreciating how nice they look. For someone living in a 2 or 3 bedroom house the bed sitters might look flimsy.
But imagine someone who sleeps in a mabati shed, roof and walls leaking, the smell of sewage, a bathroom and toilet shared by 50 people. Someone like that moving to a bedsitter, which even has piped gas, a stand by generator, a police station, a soon to be built school and level 4 hospital. That person is living better than the ordinary middle class Kenyan all for the monthly price of 3900ksh.

Which units are these? The ones that were built by Uhuru or the ones built by Ruto?
What legal provisions were in place for Uhuru's affordable housing as compared to Ruto's?

None of the Mukuru houses were completed by the time Uhuru was leaving. In fact, there were plenty of delays over funding. It was made even worse by the court stopping AFH levy sometime back.
But there is a block of houses, I can't remember where, they had even built a parking lot and people even converted them to airbnbs.

Reason why 'affordable housing' should be best left to the private sector, by providing incentives such as tax breaks. Government trying to be a broker for PR purposes only introduces inefficiencies
