Residents of Changamwe have unanimously welcomed the Affordable Housing Programme and ancillary projects in a 20-acre plot allocated from the Kenya Petroleum Company land.
During a public participation forum held in Airport Ward, Anthony Ng'ang'a from the State Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that the government plans to construct several facilities, including an Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) center, as well as primary and secondary schools. "A modern market and a level four hospital will also be built.
The housing units will use a prepaid gas reticulation system.
This project offers tremendous benefits," said Ng'ang'a, noting that it will not only provide decent housing but also create employment opportunities for the local community.
