President William Ruto's Affordable Housing programme is among the key initiatives set to benefit from increased funding in the proposed 2025/26 national budget.
If approved by Parliament, the programme will receive a boost of Sh28 billion, raising its total allocation to Sh120.2 billion, up from Sh92.1 billion in the 2024/25 budget.
Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi outlined that of the total allocation, Sh91 billion would go towards affordable and social housing, as well as supporting social and physical infrastructure.
This marks a notable rise from the Sh67.4 billion allocated to these areas in the 2024/25 Financial Year.
