Moses Wetangula, the Speaker of the National Assembly, has advised President Ruto to persist with his affordable housing plans despite criticism. Speaking in Kakamega, Wetangula urged Ruto to press on, citing the necessity of tough decisions in the development journey, akin to those made by developed nations.
Wetangula dismissed objections regarding the funding methodology, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the overarching concept rather than the specific approach. He referenced Raila Odinga’s recent remarks, acknowledging support for the affordable housing project while expressing reservations about its execution.
Raila claimed authorship of the housing concept during his tenure as Minister of Public Works and Housing, advocating for tailored plans for different regions. Despite a recent court ruling declaring the Housing Levy unconstitutional, Ruto remains steadfast in his commitment to the housing program, directing contractors to continue work unabated.
Asserting his mandate to address housing challenges as per the Constitution, Ruto reaffirmed his determination to advance the initiative for the welfare of Kenyans nationwide.
