Saturday, May 27, 2023 – President William Ruto has once again defended his so-called crazy idea of affordable housing plan.
Speaking in Embu County during the SMEs, Cooperatives, and Revenue Expo at Embu University, Ruto said the affordable housing plan will be key in lowering the cost of living in the country.
According to Ruto, affordable housing in urban areas will free up agricultural land in rural areas for food production.
Ruto acknowledged that the cost of living was high but warned that it might worsen if people continue constructing houses in rural areas.
“If we’re not careful. The continued subdivision of agricultural lands in rural areas to build individual houses will lead to the high cost of unga,” Ruto warned.
The president noted that his ambitious housing plan will prevent counties from degenerating into rural slums.
“Some counties are slowly degenerating into rural slums because of the subdivision of land and the construction of houses in rural areas.”
“In our housing plan, we are consolidating land by constructing houses in towns, freeing land in rural areas to be used for food production,” he stated.

ALARM
As parents of Athiriver primary school in Mavoko Constituency we are tired.
We urge Education ministry and the media to intervene following illegal levying.
Audit should also be conducted immediately since the school administration has been pocketing funds allocated by the National Government.
Lazy education officials in Athiriver are aware of these deals but have remained silent.
Recently, especially January the parents raised concern over sh 10,000 for admission of new kids.
Since January there has been a growing trend in public primary school’s in Athi River where parents have to part with between ksh. 5,000,10,000nand even ksh. 20,000 to have their children admitted.
Parents have been paying for illegal tuition among other levies.
There is serious need to address this issues which have compromised education standards in this area.
Every year, different schools come up with new charges outside the normal tuition and accommodation fees and parents and guardians are forced to pay up or risk having their children thrown out of learning institutions.
This kind of behaviour is unfeasible and only hurts the national aspiration of attaining universal education.
Management of the various schools should not be allowed to get away with dishonestly imposing levies and fees because it is tantamount to theft.
Mr. Muindi should be investigated and transfered.
