Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has criticised President William Ruto's Affordable Housing Programme, arguing that such a project should be managed by county governments.

Speaking at the funeral of Francis Ngaru, the late husband of former Thika Mayor Mumbi Ngaru, Raila reiterated his support for devolution and the need to empower counties further. "How about Affordable Housing?

Let counties build Affordable Housing themselves!" Raila declared.

Ruto's Affordable Housing Project is a flagship initiative aimed at addressing Kenya's housing deficit by delivering 200,000 affordable housing units annually, with a cumulative target of one million units by 2027.
