President William Ruto has directed that 20 per cent of the government-constructed affordable housing units will be given to the disciplined forces, including the Kenya Defence Forces and the police.
Speaking during a public address, Ruto said the allocation would be ringfenced to ensure that members of the security sector benefit directly from state-backed housing projects.
The move is intended to provide long-term stability for officers who often face housing challenges, particularly in high-cost urban areas where government housing has historically been inadequate. "As part of our policy program, I want to announce that 20 per cent of our housing units being developed under the affordable housing programme will go to the disciplined forces.
These will be ringfenced for our members of the disciplined forces from the military, National Police, Kenya Prisons, and National Youth Service," Ruto directed.
