Principal Secretary for Housing Charles Hinga
By: John Kariuki
Principal Secretary for Housing Charles Hinga says the high in-equality among salaried Kenyans mean a majority of them can’t afford mortgages.
The PS made the remarks during a presentation to the National Dialogue Committee at Bomas of Kenya.
The PS informed the committee that there are over 1000 informal settlements in the Country which will continue to grow if the Government doesn’t provide housing for Kenyans.
He said the Housing Levy therefore seeks to address financing challenges and make it possible to achieve housing development at scale.
Ultimately the Housing Levy will make Affordable housing a reality across the Country, provide employment for the youth and women in construction and formalize the Jua Kali sector.
