The Mombasa County Governor, Abdulswamad Sheriff, has urged the national government not to neglect Mombasa County in the affordable access programme.
The affordable housing programme, also known as the Tenancy Purchase Scheme (TPS), allows individuals to purchase a house by making periodic payments, similar to rent, over an extended period, mostly monthly.
The ownership of the house is then transferred to the beneficiary after they pay the last instalment.
In a statement on his official X account on Sunday, May 25, the governor asserted that expanding the programme to Mombasa will ensure that the residents of the county enjoy the programme just like other taxpayers.
