Kenyans seeking to live in the government's affordable housing units might have to pay up to Ksh10,000 per month for bedsitters despite the houses being subsidised.
This is after it was revealed that apart from rent, tenants will incur additional monthly costs for utilities such as water, gas, and WiFi.
The Affordable Housing Programme, which has been constantly championed by President William Ruto, who argues that it is an alternative for millions of Kenyans to own houses at affordable prices, has now cast doubt on its affordability.
During a discussion on the affordability of the houses on Wednesday, Johanna Ng'eno and Yusuf Chanzu, key figures in the affordable housing sector, clarified the payment structure, revealing that the government houses are not any different from how Kenyans pay for houses in estates.
