President William Ruto has said he will work with all leaders for the development of the country.
He said political affiliation does not matter when the Government wants to better the lives of millions of Kenyans.
“I want to give assurance to every leader in the country that is prepared to work for the people of Kenya, that we too are ready work with all the leaders so that we can change our country,” said Ruto
“Our country will not be changed by empty rhetoric and unhealthy competition. It is going to be changed by leaders working together in a manner that benefits the people of the great Republic of Kenya,” he added
Ruto made the remarks on Monday during the ground-breaking of the proposed Starehe Point Affordable Housing in Ziwani, Nairobi County.
The Ksh13 Billion Project will develop at least 6,000 units made up of one, two and three-bedroom houses.
The selling price for the units will be starting from Ksh1.2 Million.
“This is what we mean by offering decent homes while generating employment for the youth,” said the President.
Known as Starehe Point, the joint venture between GulfCap Real Estate and the National Government will create more than 5,000 jobs.
The project will see Jua Kali artisans benefit from more than Ksh500 million worth of tenders.
According to Chairman of GulfCap Real Estate Suleiman Shahbal, at least 50 per cent of the tenders will go to women.

Gachagua said the Government will not relent in pushing for policies that will uplift Kenyans.
“That is our focus now; ensuring millions of Kenyans have access to food and decent shelter,” he said.
