Salaried Kenyans have been urged to brace for continued deduction of the Housing Levy as the government unveils plans to finance additional projects using the statutory contributions.
Speaking on Wednesday morning at the Tom Mboya University in Homa Bay, President William Ruto acknowledged receiving numerous concerns from Kenyans regarding the statutory deductions, which he said were necessary for the country's benefit.
Ruto assured Kenyans that the funds would be used responsibly to accomplish key government initiatives, including the construction of affordable houses and markets.
He noted that the funds will not only be used to construct affordable houses but also drive a wider infrastructure development in the country, adding that part of the money would be used to construct student hostels.
